The hold up is a mystery indeed, as the National Institute of Health and VA Research Department know all, and have for some time. Some of the recent data released we suspect is from the last round of declassified documents from the Vietnam War. While I thought 99% were already declassified, I guess some have trickled through. Like the knowledge of using the drums that Agent Orange was stored in for diesel fuel once they were empty. Meaning a truck or jeep that drove around the rear areas were spewing residual AO in the air. Little things like that!
We do know that lots of Vietnam Veterans seem to die in their early and mid 60’s. Ruling out health habits which were atrocious in that circles of combat vets, the exposure to AO explains much of that shortened life span. Hope I beat the odds!!

With all the information that is available to The VA i simply do not understand what the hold up could be. I’m sure that all that were in that war theater were exposed to AO, some more than others but yet exposed. So it has to be simply the cost that has the government shivering in their boots. Yet they have no quams about letting the Veteran foot the cost of care for a problem that was caused by the Government, and remains their problem yet today,
