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.

      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”

    • 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:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • 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:

      Source:

      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.
