what you say ‘mpckoe’ is eternal truth about War. I doubt we will ever ‘declare’ war, ever again in our lifetime. We have found a thousand ways around the will of the people. Ergo, Democracy died right after Vietnam.
Irony being, is this is the reason we go to war….. to preserve the democratic way. It is only a matter of time till this queer karma catches up with us.
Yet, Marines will be there day and night to protect our freedoms, even when threatened from within…. as they are now.

Well there is no such thing as glossing over the ravage that Agent Orange has done to the bodies of many a soldier, most now dead, yet you are right on with your observation Tip; Operation Ranch Hand was us!
In fact not only was it us, but a memorandum released from the D.O.D maybe 7 years ago indicated that we dropped nearly 2.5 times the amount of Dioxin as was first reported. This was discovered by an Air Force Academy graduate student who was doing the math comparing the tonnage to the sorties. It did not calculate properly, and he backed into an admission from the Department of Defense that they under-reported the whole affair. Always makes you wonder what else is , under-reported eh?

Just to be clear, being sprayed on “by your government” sort of glosses over the fact that these veterans were not just sprayed upon, but also the sprayers.
