Question

Ok guys, this is new, never before seen information about the spraying of agent orange at Fort Gordon Ga. in 1966. It has only been viewed by the VARO in Nashville,Tennessee as explicit evedence in my case. It involved 40 ha. One ha is equal to 2.47 acres. The known optimum rate for the application of Agent Orange is three gallons per acre. That amount of defoliation required at least 296.4 gallons of Agent Orange. For those of you who do not know your chemicals, 2,4-D 2,4,5-T picloramic acid is the exact formula for Agent Orange. The Picloram is the nastiest of all of the ingredients, as it assures that the agent will bind tightly to the soil and last for a very long time. ;)

Did they know that it was harmful?

This is the web site where the Zumwalt report can be found.

http://www.koreanwar.org/html/units/dmz/dm..._69.htm?set=150

Admiral Zumwalt was in charge of all spraying operations in Vietnam. His son was with the Brown Water Navy and was directly involved in the spraying operations. His son died early on as due to Agent Orange related illnesses. The Admiral died a few months back. Pitiful story, but very ironic.

REPORT TO SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

ON THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS

AND EXPOSURE TO AGENT ORANGE

CLASSIFIED CONFIDENTIAL STATUS (1)

As Reported by Special Assistant

Admiral E.R. Zumwalt, Jr.

May 5, 1990

NOT FOR PUBLICATION AND

RELEASE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

On October 6, 1989 I was appointed as special assistant to Secretary Derwinski of the Department of Veterans Affairs to assist the Secretary in determining whether it is at least as likely as not that there is a statistical association between exposure to Agent Orange and a specific adverse health effect.

When we (military scientists) initiated the herbicide program in the 1960s, we were aware of the potential for damage due to dioxin contamination in the herbicide. We were even aware that the military6 formulation had a higher dioxin concentration than the civilian version due to the lower cost and speed of manufacture. However, because the material was to be used on the enemy, none of us were overly concerned. We never considered a scenario in which. our own personnel would become contaminated with the herbicide. And, if we had, we would have expected our own government to give assistance to veterans so contaminated.

I suplemented my diet with the fish and wildlife at Fort Gordon.

If this, "hard gotten," evidence is no good for anything else, why not just wallpaper the internet with it! Lets just see what our tax dollar is spent for.

I was a Game warden. I was also an avid hunter and fisherman. I took full advantage of the fish and meat source available to me as I did my job at Fort Gordon, well hell, somebody had to do it! I was on separate rations and lived off post with my wife. I ate at home and carried a sack lunch as I worked the rear areas every day.

My report date to Fort Gordon was September 22,1967. I was supposed to go to AIT mortar school but instead was assigned as permanate party and became a truck driver. most of my trip ticketts were to transport troops to the field and ranges. We, as drivers spent the day because we were also hauling the hot water warmers for the C rations and other equipment.

I was in the right place at the right time and was appointed the personal driver for the Deputy Commanding General on 1 April 1968. The DCG was over all training at Fort Gordon, so again we spent most days in the field.

Upon the retirement of the DCG on July 31, 1968 I was appointed an MP, a Federal Game Warden, and a Deputy Sheriff of Richmond County GA. The appointment of Deputy Sheriff gave me the needed authority over civillians.

My area of patrol was the entire Instillation of Fort Gordon My mythodical methood of patroll was sooner or later to bring me in to those areas that were contamminated with 900 gallons of agents Orange, Blue, White and 22 other herbicides that were applied at Fort Gordon in 1966 and 1967. The most damming of all was the herbicide that I sprayed in the preformance of my duties as a Game Warden. You know, I was not there at the time that all of the spraying took place, but the fish and wildlife that I harvested and ate shure was. Dioxin bioaccumilates up the food chain.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
