I use to throw away the Agent orange material that the VA sent because I was pretty sure that I wasn't sprayed by the C123's in Ranch Hand or in the area they sprayed, after they sprayed.

However I am outraged for those vets that are going to be cast out by Musk and Ramaswamy..

It remind me of how Stalin dealt with the cripples and limbless Vets that hung around Red Square. when the sun came up one morning, they were all gone and Stalin was no longer embarrassed by the failure of the state to take care of wounded patriots.

The whole affair is a reminder to us that we are little more than a human resourcek and resources are things that are used and consumed in production.

We defoliated a mahogony forest in Tay Ninh province during Junction City. I was in a discussion group with a physician who was in the 1st Div medical units -- said all his colleagues got it... the water.

My second cousin was a nurse (Major) in Nam. Died of cancer a few years back from removing uniforms soaked in Agent Orange from wounded soldiers.
