US finally takes some responsibility for it's evil

The US has begun a project to help clean up Agent Orange contamination at one area in Vietnam - the first such move since the war ended in 1975.

Apart from losing 58,000 US servicemen and who knows how many locals in the failed and rather stupid attempt to keep 'the enemy' contained, the US deployed chemical weapons (Didn't they invade Iraq for that?) that killed an unknown number and led to massive birth defects.

Anyone care to justify this barbaric evil and explain why the US didn't invade itself for use of WMD?

If only we hadn't started that war. Darn liberal war mongers. Thankfully a Republican ended it.....

Agent Orange was a defoliant. If it was a chemical weapon, and too bad it wasn't, the Cong would have been sterilized out.

And to think the company who made that also produces a majority of the seeds the country uses... If there ever was a James Bond type villain he is sitting at the head of the Monsanto board.

They dumped that crap on us soldiers just the same as the Vietnamese.

And so would many many US soldiers.

Thank you for reminding me what vile bastards make up the racist population of the US and other countries.

[strollingbones]

agent orange did a lot of damage to the men exposed to it

agent orange did a lot of damage to the men exposed to it

It was used where the US forces knew there was a civilian population but no one has been held accountable for it's use.

As for the photos being hidden - there goes the big problem.
The US population should see the results of war. Maybe then, they keep the government from starting more.

Because it's in the news at the moment.
I did link to the story in the OP.
Perhaps the US media prefer to ignore it. Even better that I post it if that is the case.

People need to be aware of the real results of war and what governments get up to.
Hawks in the US wan a war with Iran next. Stop the idiots before they get chance to kill a few million more.

sorry, but your strawman is burning; agent orange was intended as a vegetation defoliating agent not to kill enemy , or naturally friendly troops.

 

[squeeze berry]

for one thing the photos look faked

the other is that birth defects have many causes.

the OP is a charlatan

You forgot to add that the Vietnamese are a physically repulsive people anyways.

What do YOU know about "the real results of war"? Ever fought one? Well, I have, and yes, it is nasty, ugly and brutal. There is nothing glamorous or glorious about it; the good, the bad and the innocent all bleed, suffer, and die. There is, however, something worse than fighting a war; failing to fight a war that needs to be fought.

I'm sure you would like to deter America from taking on Iran, the better that your co-religionists there could start a regional nuclear conflict with impunity, or perhaps better yet (from your point of view), give a nuke to terrorists, and have them detonate it in a major American city. If it takes war against Iran to prevent either of those things from happening, then from where I sit, such a war would be entirely justified.

They dumped that crap on us soldiers just the same as the Vietnamese.

Was it 'They, The People', or 'We, The People' who dumped that crap on us soldiers?

Step one in a democracy is to start using the word 'we' when you want to blame 'them'.
