"I died in Vietnam but did not know it" Those are the words of Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange in the book "Waiting for an Army to Die". Trouble is, by now most have died without a cent of compensation to them or their heirs, many of whom are also victims of Agent Orange transmitted genetically. Where's the justice in all this? Who has been charged, let alone convicted, of the colossal crimes committed against US troops by their own government?
Agreed . But let's not also forget that the equivalent of the Tri-County population was born with birth defects in Vietnam because of Agent Orange & they had no choice at all .
