Again, if I post pics of myself in uniform, will you admit defeat and go away and never come back?
Put up or shut up, boy!

The government of Vietnam says that up to four million people in Vietnam were exposed to the defoliant, and as many as three million people have suffered illness because of Agent Orange,while the
Vietnamese Red Cross estimates that up to one million people were disabled or have health problems as a result of exposure to Agent Orange.While the United States government has described these figures as unreliable, it has documented cases of
leukemia,
Hodgkin's lymphoma, and various kinds of cancer in exposed U.S. military veterans. The US Government has not conclusively found either a causal relationship or a plausible biological carcinogenic mechanism for cancers. An epidemiological study done by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that there was an increase in the rate of
birth defects of the children of military personnel who were exposed to Agent Orange. Agent Orange has also caused enormous environmental damage in Vietnam. Over 3,100,000 ha (7,700,000 acres) or 31,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) of forest were defoliated. Defoliants eroded tree cover and seedling forest stock, making
reforestation difficult in numerous areas. Animal
species diversity is sharply reduced in contrast with unsprayed areas.<a
