There are at least 11 illnesses of the children of Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange. The primary one is Spina Bifida, which has been compensable for 25 years. Many think that the fear of birthing disabled children was one of the causative factors leading to the inordinate number of suicides in the mid 70’s to late 1980’s.

The naivete about the ravages of war of todays citizen is alarming. As our those who think tagging commetary that is alien to their entrenched brainwashing is cute.
Somehow they think their abstractions are the equivalency of service to our nation.

A friend of mine has a ‘horseshoe’ kidney due to the effects of agent orange exposure to his Father. At least that’s what dotors have told him.

My Uncle Ed chose to never have children because of his exposure to it.

As always, most of the people killed then and now were civilians; just plain old subsistence farmers and villagers hoping to scratch out a living from one day to the next. They probably couldn’t tell you why there was a war going on if you tortured them. I’ll bet even a lot of the North’s soldiers, like the American kids, would just have soon been home.

Regardless of ideology, the victims would have more in common with you than you would like to think.

This is interesting. I was not aware that there were any Agent Orange-connected illnesses amongst the children of those exposed.

You have yet to see the entire cost of this war. The children of Vietnam veterans are often forgotten. You have forgotten them even in your article. Those who have left comments which followed your article also have forgotten them. So let it be known that the children of these veterans suffer from illnesses caused by agent orange.

So, you are in favor of chemical warfare?

Leftfield:

Well, that was a cute answer. I don’t like Agent Orange and what it did to our troops. But heck, if it killed a lot of Communist soldiers I feel good. Communists, like your little friend on the screen are on the sewage pit of history.

At least Leftfield has a heart. Those who only think politically and are lead like cows with ideology are pretty much heartless. That is on par with chemicals that kill.

Hey Tipster: Y’all forgot to include the blacks and the great yellow peril in there too. Where is your 21st century diversity?
BTW, how’s your nephew, (World Class Education) Dione doing these days? When are the doctors going to loosen his straps enough so he can use the padded cell computer again?
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

You would think that we had perfected the art of killing brown skinned people safely with our Predator drones, where our brave servicemen can commute into the office in the morning, blow up a wedding party or two, and then step out for a Starbucks Latte.
But it turns out that even our brave Predator pilots can suffer from PTSD- it’s enough to make you think that it might be something besides using chemicals and radiation to kill brown skinned women and kids that causes such suffering in our Vets.
