Agent Orange And Nuclear Waste Report Fort Greely Alaska

Rate this question


Capt.

Question

Hello All,

Well not to say that we already have enough archived here at Hadit on the subject of Nuclear Waste or Agent Orange/2,4,5,T , Herbicides , at Fort Greely in Alaska but this is more definitive proof it was there. Just wanted to let some of our members know,,,,I also posted in the Agent Orange Topic..... the report.

In the report go to page 8 at the bottom for the AO/herbicides

The Nuclear Contamination may help some of our others there at the infamous post. Very good strong undeniable evidence,,,,,but remember as any Chemical Exposure it will take proving you were exposed and a strong Nexus/IMO. NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

What happened to all the AO after they stopped using it in RVN? I can imagine the military burying it all over the place in drums, and those drums leaking into the ground water. About the only people in the world concerned about AO these days is the Vietnamese and RVN vets/exposed vets. Consider that lung cancer, DMII and IHD are now presumptive for AO almost all of us living Nam vets will die from AO especially since prostate cancer is so common to older males. It would be a contributing factor in almost any death after age 70. We should all claim SC death since we all probably have some stage of prostate cancer.

Hello John,,,,, EXCELLANT POINTS. I do know that in Alaska , the ADEC reports Contaminated Sites programs specifically list some of the sites exact locations and the remediation(Cleanup efforts) of those sites. The real problem is that,,,,,,as you pointed out ,,,,,is we do not know where all the Agent Orange ended up and disposal efforts. Or where it was just dumped in a hole and covered. This was the usual practice of all bases and well documented. Of course now we all are seeing the effects of this practice and the harmful effects.

The Vietnam story is huge but now we see that Agent Orange was World Wide and as posted here on our Archives site under Agent Orange category is the Training Seminars and the bases thruout the United States where it was used , stored or buried. The DOD list is just so slow and incomplete and the Congressional Efforts to get AO listed on those installations in the CONUS , and in other bases has now stalled again. Congressman Lane Evans was instrumental to get the DOD to increase the recognized list but we only have about 60 percent of those known sites ACKNOWLEDGED BY DOD on their site and the VA site under Agent Orange.

The ground water issues are now coming back to haunt many bases and our Veterans are now seeing that this is just another piece of the destruction of their organs and bodies shutting down. Camp Le June is only the tip of the huge iceberg and as time goes on , more and more sites will be coming into the eye of the public and the DOD. We obviously have a large problem that is not even close to being solved.

You and I know how serious this is , but we still do not have enough folks trying to pick up this effort and continue Mr. Evans and Congress and the DOD efforts. As always a veteran must NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
