You know we dumped AO on South Vietnam. Those were supposed to be our allies. We helped to poison the civilians we were supposed to be saving. I guess we had to kill them to save them. We need to compensate the Vietnam Vets here before we spend money on Vietnamese. We need to compensate both parties.

The Hatfield study referenced in this article found dioxin levels at 300-to 400 times the level in DFanang in 2005 than it was during the Vietnam War.

Dioxon as a weapon of mass destruction is also the horrible 'gift' that keeps on giving.

"Washington has been slow to address the issue, quibbling for years with its former foe over the need for more scientific research to show that the herbicide sprayed by U.S. aircraft during the war caused health problems and birth defects among Vietnamese."

Quibbling- the reality is this is where more potential AO presumptives lie- Washington doesn't want to accept Vietnamese medical AO research as it could add even more to the AO presumptive list for Vietnam vets.
