1. I gave this a rec

But it misses a key point - the other Agents.

Agent orange is a walk in the park compared to pink, green/white, blue, etc. etc.

We are fairly certain the green/white is why the last week of my dad's life (died August 13 last year at 70) his intestines literally came out of his body.

Sorry for the TMI - but I've seen the shelf life of this poison first hand. God knows how it will impact me as I age, my nieces and nephews, and children I have.

My father was very vocal about the impact on the Vietnamese people. We also need to get vocal about Central America and South America where the other colors were used extensively.

We were there - my father was a Green Beret - amongs the very FIRST of that crew. We were there too. And using chemicals.


My rec? It's because this is a GOOD Start!
