Since I read what you said about the book "Stolen Valor: & how U got mad each time U tried to read it & never finished it I had to get that book.
I got it thru my Local Library & must agree this Fellow sure doesn't think much of the Vietnam Vets who have any sort of problems,Illness' &/or Diseases.
He writes a good book & someone not framiliar with the situation sure could be sucked in by it.
Seems like he thinks every vet that files a claim is a phony.
I kind of wonder if he has ever been in the Military.
He slufs off Agent Orange as being over blown & that the Media picked it up & blew it all out of proporation.
Also, that the Drug Companies paid off the Vets to the tune of 180 Million Dollars because they didn't want to be bothered.
I agree with U 100% this guy is some kind of NUT.
But, he must have sold a lot of books if the Public Libraries picked up on them.
"Waiting For An Army To Die" is more realistic.
I read it once but my memory sucks so bad I put in a request for it again.
I reccomend that one.
Also, he ( The Agent Orange Expert.. NOT) referred to another book entitled " The Wounded Generation"
He had a very low opinion of it so must be something pro Veteran.
I just figured I'd let you know U are still helping me ( Which U have for a long time) by providing me with a reading list.
Interesting to read what this guy says as he claims to be the Granddaddy of all Investigators & no one else has ever bothered to check any Vets Military Files.
If he ever filed a Claim he would find out how throughly the VA can be checking Veterans Records.
I find it hard if not impossible that he has done half of what he claims in the book.
He can tell U every Vet that lied on anything. Which I find to be an out right lie as he was not there at the time so how could he possibility say that?
But, the good ole 2nd Amendment is alive & well.
Again, Thank U for all your time & patience in helping me. It worked.
