The things we do to win wars.

The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam was an assault on mother earth.

Note the dioxin level in Da- Nang.

Agent Orange? All I have to do is watch the way that crap eroded my brothers health. The guy has one functioning lung, a very weak immune system and a bunch of other nasty crap going on with his guts.

To quote my father, "The next time you decide to throw a war because you think it's good for the economy.....Send your own goddamn kids."

Dave, I'm also sadden to hear of your Brother. Worked with a Marine Vet who had dreadful ailments associated with Agent Orange. This was before they admitted the connection and he had to fight to get medical help from the VA.
