Is there anyone on DU-3 who lived through Vietnam War Era..whose life was changed by the DraftWar?

109. That's one of the consequences that's not talked about much in wars...

I'm so sorry about your dad.

My father-in-law witness the Atomic bomb test explosion at Bikini Atol from a fireship in the Pacific during WWII. He died at age 68 from colon cancer. Two of his sons felt sure it was from being so close to that explosion. Colon cancer runs in the family ...so who knows. But, hands on contact like your father and probably thousands of others had or are having now with chemicals and (who knows what else that's toxic) are probably going to have lasting effects on their bodies.

And what we are leaving behind in these countries plus polluting whole world's atmosphere with depleted uranium and other toxins is the disgusting consequence of these bombings and air attacks with our "sophisticated weapons of mass destruction." And, the maimed bodies of soldiers and civilians and the torn apart facilities in these countries that somehow don't always get rebuilt.



Thanks for posting you dad's experience because many here might not realize the consequences.
