Well, I am not very sure, cause all the history books states that Vietnamese got all the things, never mention a word about the Americans!

Are you trying to be intentionally dense (or) what?

Look up Agent Orange on the internet as I suggested and see what the various sites have to say about Agent Orange.

A lot of the history books were written by historical liberal revisionists. Just ask almost any Vietnam vet what's going on and you will get the truth instead of trash put out by those who have a personal ax to grind.

I really don't want to assume you're trying to get a flame war going ... I also don't want to assume you're stupid ... instead I prefer to think you 'MAY' be uninformed ... take some time to get the real facts the next time you make a comment about something you know nothing about ...

PLEASE!

Zander,

As a member personally affected by Agent Orange, I strongly suggest you do what Chief Bones said.

My Dad and Stepdad both served in Vietnam. Many of the ailments they both suffer from are common side effects from various insecticides and defoliants found in the commercial markets today.

I am 100% certain that neither of them exposed themselves to these chemicals to produce these effects purposely. I do believe that these ailments are caused by exposure to Agent Orange.

There are too many Vietnam vets as well as veterans of Desert Storm that suffer from "unknown illnesses" for it to be a coincidence.

ya...and U.S tested agent orange in Canada...a lot of the veterans who worked in that area and their family memebers suffered from all sorts of cancers....

Actually if you read Dear Mom: A Sniper Veitnam, J.D. Ward mentions Agent Orange and it's effects. He also mentions the fact that the manufacturer of Agent Orange knew of it's dangers as early as 1956 but neglected to tell the military until late in Veitnam.

Oh! so they knew that there will be after effects but they did not tell ! Freak!
