The reason that agent orange was sprayed is not in question, the question is why was every American effected by something that the USA did? Again we sprayed chemical weapons and the Soviets said fuck you and sprayed T-2 mycotoxinActually if the government exposed the real reason for the majority of the illnesses, we might all not be here, so they kept it quiet and the USA never dropped agent orange again.The US dropped agent orange and the Soviets dropped T-2 mycotoxin in response.Agent orange, grow up, the USA dropped agent orange and used napalm, both chemical weapons and the Soviets dropped T-2 mycotoxin. So pop not everything you hear is true, the fact is that every Vietnam vet I ever met was fucked up, and they were no all exposed to agent orange and if they were they all should have been millionaires instead of homeless and offing themselvesThe government lets 20 vets commit suicide every single day, no one does anything.I get a kick out of buffoons like you who actually believe that anyone who didn't serve is a nobody.Stop pretending you give a shit about veterans. You've made it quite clear you have nothing but contempt for servicemen and women.Does ignoring the issue fix it in your mind?They're still more courageous than you, who never wore the uniform.What are your thoughts on the 20 or so veterans who off themselves everyday, because they can not cope with reality, like you?Did Bill Gates and Steve jobs ever serve?You talk a lot, too. Lot's of whining.My father had to forget what he did and saw, he had to forget everything that he was a part of even though he was proud. I knew the man for 22 years and again he never spoke of what he did, other than when I was three he told me that the men charging up the beach in the movie the sands of iwo jima, like heroes were all dead as he held back tears. I was about three and that told me all I had to know. You have given at least a hundred times that much info here and all you admitted to doing was nothing. There are men and women out there with no limbs, they were there, you were not. What is sad is that you can not admit what your function was even though you talk nonstop
And you never wore the uniform.
So feel free to eat shit.
Did you buy stock in their companies like I did?
I pity you people who see the entire world thru small eyes
Did Bill Gates and Steve Jobs make outrageous claims about how military things work, and then get pissy when they were shown to be wrong?
I have no issue with someone not serving. I do have an issue with people trying to say that people did nothing or were worthless while they served, when those people never served.
And you're an even bigger piece of shit than I thought possible, using the deaths of good men and women to insult someone.
Get it? You're a piece of shit.
Their very existence highlights your failure to serve anyone but yourself. It's no wonder you hate them.
Again the military does not make 1 single weapon no matter how small
It isn't so much not serving. It is not serving and belittling the ones who did. I find that disgusting and cowardly.
Not true. The VA is diligent at asking about your mental health. There are counselors available. Many people man 24 hour phone lines to provide someone to talk to. I have manned those lines.
But the gov't could do more. Veterans tend to be great for photo ops, but forgotten quickly.
And the way the gov't treated vets who were exposed to Agent Orange is a damned shame.
Once again, you should do some research before you spout off bullshit. My ex-father-in-law suffered some serious health issues, especially later in his life, that several doctors testified were specifically due to his exposure to Agent Orange. Of course, the gov't hemmed and hawed and delayed accepting responsibility for decades. He came home in 1971. He was finally given a monetary award of $186,000 in 2015. He died in 2016.
However tin foil hat wearers like you claim that the government never lies
Yea ok pop
Our gov't has admitted that Agent Orange caused health issues, even in smaller exposures. They just delayed the admission until most of those exposed were dead.
Are you proud of your fathers suffering or knowing the value of his life?
The real reason? lol The reason the sprayed agent orange was to defoliate the jungle and take away the enemy's ability to hide.
I am proud of my ex-father-in-law's service and sacrifice. I know the value of his life.
And research and testing showed the long term health issues from Agent Orange. That is why the gov't finally paid.
