The Effects of Agent Orange

The effects of Agent Orange on the people of Vietnam and to our very own soldiers is heart wrenching. USA has never accepted responsibility for its spray missions. People are often surprised to know that the US Government does not accept most US soldiers claim of being affected by Agent Orange by saying their complaints are not "Service Connected". Peripheral Neuropathy is ONLY accepted by US Government if it was reported within the first year after leaving Vietnam.

Back then, people were not putting little yellow decals on their cars saying they,

"Support the Troops",

no, they were spitting on many of them, angry, and not supportive,

so who would have noticed a little tingling, a little vomiting and weight loss? They were just happy to be out of Vietnam.



Watch this video and ask yourself if the US Government should admit to responsibility.

Do not look away.

Know that this is one of the things that war does.

All you anti-choice people? Know that war kills and maim babies too. Think twice before you agree and support the next war. US now has business' in Vietnam.. business as usual I guess.

Ask yourself just how many wars you plan on supporting from a distance.

Many Vietnam Vets ARE out homeless and discarded... think of them next Veterans Day, next Memorial Day or maybe the next time you see a homeless man on the street around 60 years old.
