that old guy that claimed Agent Orange was safe should have taken a bath in it to prove his point
A single exposure probably would not have done anything. The Vietnamese were exposed to dioxin over years, possibly everyday

Just like how Yankee dumbfucks love moaning about Assad
They're doing this same thing to the citizens

At the least there's a greater movement to repair the damage, and in that sense it's good that America is doing the right thing, owning up now, and helping. We should have done it much sooner.

It wasn't just agent orange. My husband was in the navy and where he was stationed they had used herbicide to clear an area, short story, my husband was tasked with clearing the dead vegetation. Thirty years later he developed soft tissue sarcoma. Suffered seven years. Five surgeries to remove large masses, and parts of internal organs that were affected. Chemo. It kept coming back. My husband did a lot of research. Many people he was stationed with have also suffered similar health problems. Cancers. Navy never admitted fault, because it wasn't agent orange. Husband died in 2012. Yes, there is a direct link to herbicides and soft tissue sarcoma. We were supposed to grow old together. :(
I'm sorry for your loss. Words cannot describe the horrors government can inflict upon its own people. Horrendous
I'm so sorry for your loss. May your husband rest in peace. And may your life be blessed.
No one cares
@Tidder T then can I ask why someone who had a husband in Vietnam is able to go into TH-cam and type a whole paragraph about there personal life. Just think about that for a second
@@nemluka well when they were alive during the Vietnam war I find it hard to believe they are tech savvy but yeah let’s all buy a sap story.
The US has done some pretty shitty things over the years but this has to be the lowest point
Not even close
You're an idiot. Prove him wrong or shut your mouth. If you have better a example say what it is.
Systematically targeting civilians in order to create psychological pressure among the population, is after all an American specialty. Just like they somehow found a way to spread ''freedom and democracy'' trough endless warfare, or saving the world from the enemies they created trough their reckless foreign policies.
Physical not psychological, probably a war crime against humanity ... The Hague.
Who's the Terrorists again!! hahaha ISIS is like kindergarten for these morons Fanatics of Muurica WeeeHaaaaaa
I live in Vietnam, and I still see the effects of Agent Orange. There are places where the ground is still too toxic for plants to grow.
I lived along the toxic Passaic River in New Jersey. The factory that produced agent orange was just downriver.
@@minnowpd i live near the Hoa Binh hospital, where there's alot of Agent Orange kid who still get affect. Poor them

I am now a 40 year old man that is reflecting on the experience I had being raised by a Vietnam War Veteran Father. My Dad is deceased. He died at an early age of 54 years old on the date of March 27th 2000. He was drafted into a the war. My father entered the experience of the conflict with a perspective of reluctant duty. My father was a Conscientious Objector at the time he was called. The designation at that time was not recognized by the armed forces. As the idea of such a perspective did not exist in common thought at the time, my father performed in great excellence the duty of a medical staff sergeant, and was awarded a Purple Heart for one of many selfless acts that are documented in his military record. My Grandmother collected all of the letters my Father sent home. I now have all of those letters, the Purple Heart, and a true understanding of War. The battle was never fought by those whom would loose in that war. All loose in any war. The children of war learn. The children of war should keep in mind the losses. The children of war should remember the losses. The children of war should create peace.
and death to innocents...
Lewis Karbler ,my dad in 1997
The children of war will never be able to create peace because the powers above need the cogs of the military business moving, we are powerless.
people who've never been to war, especially warhawk neocons, are the loudest demanding for war in the middle east on behalf of israel and maintaining the american empire
Amen to that!
My dad was a Vietnam vet. He had a severe skin rash on his hands, feet, arms and legs that he swore was due to agent Orange. He also had what the doctors at the veteran's hospital called chronic bronchitis. My dad died at the age of 40 from a massive heart attack caused by a blood clot that formed in his lung and hit his heart. The doctor who did his autopsy said that all of my dad's health problems were due to exposure to agent orange. My family has never been given any type of confirmation from the department of veterans affairs that my dad died due to t he effects of agent orange and I doubt they ever will. My dad died almost 28 years ago. I doubt much will be done to help those affected or who have lost family members due to agent orange.
indeed a punishment he deserves
Agent orange, the fire that doesn't burn.
unlike napalm, which burns. a lot
I love the smell of napalm in morning.
+ThePimV That gasoline smell...
+ThePimV Yeah me too was all worth it, reminds me of where I'm going when I die and where I came from - Hell.
Pim Videoclips sodom reference?
I’m a Vietnam veteran where I worked on the C-123-K “ Ranch Hands. I wasn’t drafted I volunteered for duty in Vietnam , twice.
After returning home I, like many of my comrades worked hard, raised a family and tried to take care of myself.
As a sergeant with the sheriffs office I worked out regularly, didn’t use tobacco, ate well and didn’t drink to excess.
Now that I’m in my late sixties I’ve lost part of a kidney to cancer and I have diabetes and respiratory problems.
Papa Steve - I have the same problems except for diabetes. I am also experiencing muscle aches and a host of other symptoms. I've done some extensive research and learned that those airplanes were stored at the aircraft boneyard. I was told by one of the employees there that those airframes were later test for Agent Orange some twenty plus years later found to be contaminated. So they were destroyed by fire to include the records. I jumped from the Provider, C-123 during the 1974 period while assigned to jump school at Fort Benning, Georgia. I am looking for people who have flight logs of said aircrafts. I have submitted a claim to the VA on this subject matter. I just need aircraft numbers that was assigned to the 731st Airlift Wing and other unit that may have use these aircrafts within U.S. I do have the serial numbers of all aircraft and their disposition.
@@sceptre1922 so how did your search went?
u still alive ?
Thank you for your service and welcome home man
Vietnam has been suffering this sorrowful pain, and this is also one of the reasons Vietnam's development is still in obstruction
415Underdog The Northern Vietnamese had accepted communism and attempted to force it upon South Vietnam, which would have also left millions dead, and also a new communist country. The US, being anti communist intervened and was attempting to get the NV to leave the SV. When they denied command we responded with protection and war. One of the tactics being to use Agent Orange. We attempted to remove the cover and terrain used by the NV. We had no clue on the side effects of said Agent. This agent could also have been avoided if the NV had left the SV to themselves. This is more of the NV's fault than anyone. They accepted communism under terrible leadership and attempted to force beliefs upon others. If you believe that everyone should follow the same path, then you are the pawn. If you believe that forced beliefs are ok. Then you are following the same path as every other communist. You all play the same role. You are all to follow the same guidelines of life. But the same brand of foods, let the government make every decision while you sit there waiting for the king of the board to command you. But when the king is killed, anarchy erupts. You cannot have a kingdom without a king.
Therefore, in a glorious attempt to save the Vietnamese people from the evil ways of...COMMUNISM, the US ended up taking over 1.5 millions lives, whit a staggering rate of collateral civilian casualties (35%). The cruel irony of it all is that 30 years later communism as fallen, yet the ravages of dioxin are still affecting the people. Thank the gods America was there to save the day!!!
415Underdog Seriously dude, you didn't get the sarcastic nature of my comment!? It was pretty obvious.
@@dreadlain According to Geneva Accords (1954), there should have been an election in 1956 for Vietnamese people to choose their leader and reunite their country. But the US and Ngo Dinh Diem regime subsequently refused to allow election, this lead to the war. The US and Ngo Dinh Diem regime believed that if the election had ever happened, Ho Chi Minh would have won.
This is so sad, and yet it’s America, so America will never face their crimes
@@kylep3514 why does us always blame other party lol
It's because we've been so politically divided over the years
We were at war not a tickle fight
@@caydenfelder8631 stfu, war has rules. US condemned and sentenced Nazi officials for using sarin in WW2, Hypocrisy much.
@@atyanthdutt6632 the term war has rules quickly falls apart if you look at other parts of the world we are at war at and what they do. Also sarin was used against people which is why it’s called chemical warfare agent orange was used to clear vegetation but they didn’t know until after it had health problems.
US foreign relations policy: "War crimes are okay because we're the good guys."
US in a nutshell
Yup
Yup, they bombed an entire vietnam village supposedly to save it from communism.
The American government was told that AG was safe on humans. I blame the chemical company that lied. My brother was a vet and he died in 1995. He was exposed to AG in Viet Nam. He was only in his in his 40s when he died.
Yea cuz it's the chemical company who spread it with aircrafts.
patteel I agree my teacher in high school went to Vietnam served 2 terms. he told me he buried 2 of his friends during the war because of agent orange.
Ah. Yes, poor, naive goverment. They we led astray, oh boo-hoo. WAKE UP!!!
My grandfather was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam. He was recently diagnosed with mild dementia, a disease that is almost always later re-diagnosed as alzheimers. My aunt was born with a severe, near-fatal heart condition. My mother has struggled with severe mental health issues and a poor grasp on reality from an INCREDIBLY young age. Doctors have suggested to my family that these are all commonly found in the men that have been exposed to the chemical, and their children. It's absolutely horrible.
After 20 years, it has finally dawned on me that Agent Orange is probably what killed brother Dennis at age 50 in 2000 of Bladder cancer. He went to Vietnam on special assignment in 1969 and wasn't the same when he returned.
A new category of media should be designated to Retro Report. This was amazing
"Agent Orange is a safe product" (but here's $180 million dollars) hmm
The money wasn't compensation, its for candy and comics
My dad past away last christmass due to a form of cancer due to agent orange, and theres no goverment support for my mom now wich is 63,
Killer Croc I'm sorry but both of you have 3rd grade level grammar.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster
Good news
The only reason I've heard of this is bc my grandpa just died of cancer thought to be in him bc of Agent Orange.
My father was in the US ARMY during Vietnam, he lived until I was 17 years old a senior in high school, he passed away at the age of 40!!! He died from a brain tumor!!!! I was conceived when he got home from Vietnam and I have all sorts of medical ailments probably from the Agent Orange!!!! I’m now 48years old.
Wow that is sad, they didnt learn it to you in school? America sucks. Government does not even want to admit it mistakes it did. Like how low can you go. You can only be a truly great country by admiting your mistakes and help solve the problems/mistakes. But america is so greedy and selfish, it will probably never happen until someone else comes to power who cares about creatures and not money, power,...

What a heinous, evil, cowardly way to conduct war this was: spraying poison on the landscape. The gutless cowards responsible for doing this were never brought to justice. And USA had no business in Vietnam anyway. USA owes Vietnamese trillions of dollars for its crimes.
415Underdog When I see a douche who's attempting to label me, my friends and my family sure. I'm white if that wasn't already obvious and I don't agree or condone what the scum who run the federal government or the EU are doing in our names. Oh and for the record, such positions are becoming rapidly Asian, Black, Hispanic and Middle Eastern, the latter being Europe.
415Underdog Even from a racial standpoint which I can understand. Skin color is largely incidental and unimportant, it's the cultural, national or religious traits that a group is mostly distinguished by. For instance, I have no problem with Arab people. I do however have a big one with Muslims or Islam. I won't get into the details of that.
Thats the US government and the army leaders who had said the chemical was ok to use. This war is one of the most unpopular in US history and even the people did'nt want to fight it. Soldiers that came home were scarred for life and there were even groups in the military that though the war was unjust and did'nt want to fight it. Also this is just the normal for war in WW1 clorine gas was used in the trenches to kill soldiers and atom bombs which were used on Japan in WW2 left some children with radiation poisoning as soon as they were born, others burned alive as their skin peeled off.
415Underdog The US wanted allies with pretty much all the Asian nations in WW2 as the Japanese were tearing through the area and they needed the people in Asia to try slow them down.
After WW2 when Vietnam wanted the French out America would not attack a long time ally and the French played somewhat of a large part in the making of their own country. For all they knew the French could have won and the Viets would be crushed.
Vietnan turned to China and Russia for weapons to fight the French with and gain their independence. As China and Russias help shaped the country more and more America rushed in to stop this communism and got stuck in another Limited war.
America has a long time relationship with setting up dictators to fight someone they dont want their troops to (probably because congress wont let him fight it) Pol Pot was simply to fight the Viets and their attempt to readjust the scale of "power" Asia.
415Underdog Vietnams is capitalist only now and only becuase communism cannot function in a world that us always moving foward America had perfect reason to believe that Vietnam was communist.
My grandpa died almost 25 years ago due to cancer as a direct result of Agent Orange. He was blown up twice in his tank before he finally came home. After overcoming his disabilities from those tank explosions he was left to die with no acknowledgement from the VA or government. They only acknowledged his cancer years after his death. He was a Native American who loved his country and I served it as well. I still see these things happening like in Iraq. He died telling me how our country was worth everything. I wish they would have given him treatment. My grandma has never been given anything to show he did die from Agent Orange. It's sad.
K Ham y fight for a country where they don’t even care about you
I’m so sorry
My mom and her entire family are refugees from Vietnam 🇻🇳, on March 14, 2015, my aunt went into to the hospital because her side hurt, she never came out of that room, she died 2 weeks later of most likely from agent orange. Knowing that my country gave my aunt cancer and killed her is disgusting. What would have happened had she lived, my life would be drastically different.
This took my uncle in 2009. Very aggressive form of lung cancer discovered in May 2008. In June 2009 he was gone. Was a USAF mail sorter/carrier at Tan Su Nhut Airport in 1967-68. Just mailbags and cargo with microscopic exposure killed him 42 years later.
I have lost my uncle. I currently deal with this with my father. I will never forget these veterans. I will fight forever. Vietnam VETS deserve recognition.
Victims of agent orange in general deserve recognition, not only VETS
But who were they really fighting for? For whom did they give their life up for? Did they miss any important events in you life because of this? Do you realize how wicked your own government is? Did you know they engage in weird and disgusting acts in their secret societies? Did you know money is a form of enslavement? Did you know they hide cures, cause treatments make profits?
@@Me-xd7bd That’s something for which the young men who go to war have to find meaning as well as peace within themselves while the old men who sent them there made money, lots of money and sleep well because those who lack a conscience always do.
Victims of agent orange deserve recognition, viernamese citizens deserve recognition.
My father has Parkinsons disease from exposure in Vietnam and suffers greatly as a result and will almost certainly die as a result of his exposure. Yet compared to the Vietnamese he was extremely fortunate.
I really like these videos. Keep up the good work!!!
My pops was deployed there a few times during the war. One of them during the '68 tet. He was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma three times. Went into remission twice. He passed away a few years ago and I'm still so Angry about it. He served over 20 years with the usaf and he died as a consequence of agent orange. I'm proud of him for serving, but it makes me wonder how much longer i coulda had him around if he had chosen a different path.
I was in Vietnam 69 - 70 I have Parkinson's disease and heart - respiratory problems. The VA helps me I'm 69 getting ready to go
rest in peace guy
I worked in a retirement home a few years ago and one guy there was a Vietnam veteran who was exposed to agent orange. He would shake so bad anytime he did anything. He was a nice guy too but he was so stubborn that he refused help. He would try to shave and slice up his face everytime.
agent orange killed my cousin in 1992, no one will admit it.
@robert ward
How did it kill you cousin? My father was exposed and I am witnessing the effects through generations: my sisters and I and my children and grandchildren all have various deficits.
Sorry to hear that both of you ^ ^ ^ ^
This is a classic DOJ tactic, first they claim that Agent Orange doesn't exist. Then after millions have died from it, they finally give health support to a few claimants.
360zm that's pretty much a tactic adopted by every government, corporation, and even single human. A 3 yearold child eats a cookie they weren't supposed to and you ask, they say no, then you point out the fact they have melted chocolate chips all over their face and they admit they did. The UK says they aren't using man in the middle attacks on cellphones, after confronted with undeniable evidence they finally admit to it. This is just what people who are lying do once they realize they've painted themselves into a corner. Certainly not specific to the DOJ.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster
these are the best
How sad it is for the veterans to be literally forced to fight and die of cancer or bullet without justice.
monsantoooo was here
so what?
I hope we've learned this must never happen again.
It already happened in Iraq.
Sadly we haven't learned a thing. Chemical weapons were used in Syria not six months ago.
simplyme922 Increased Birth defects can be observed in Falluja and other Iraqi cities, where phosphorous and depleted uranium ammunitions where used to a high extent.
Agent Orange was what the VA told my Dad his type of cancer came from. We watch a strong smart man, always working with his hands and being a great Grandfather, waist away. It was a horrible experience for our family and for him.
My ex husband had a lot of agent Orange exposure. Our daughter was born with birth defects. She had surgeries well into her teens.
Do you have same imotion on Vietnamese as you done with your daughter.
Syria : uses chemical attacks *world gets offended*
USA: uses chemical attacks *nobody does anything but vets that are affected*
at least we dont use biological weapons, and agent orange was meant to clear forests
Proof Noone cares is that this post only has 24 likes. America needs to keep its nose out of other countries business. Said by an American. Disgusting what they did.
2 wrongs make one right, your part of the problem.
My Uncle and 2 of my Cousins served in Vietnam all 3 died of prostate cancer 1 before the age of 40 and the other 2 before the age of 60.
Sir, the enemy are using the jungle for cover. Oh that dog ain't gona hunt so you get out there soldier and kill that goddam jungle. Hoorah
A few years ago my uncle who is a Vietnam vet developed a rare form of leukemia, luckily it was easily treated but his dr thought it might have been linked to agent orange
Yes, it was most likely suspect, Agent Orange. Take your uncle to the nearest VA hospital with his DD-214 discharge paper. It is a one sheet Dept of Defense paper summarizing his service. It is required to get on going future care and qualify for disability payments. I get $780 a month on 40% disability from prostate cancer caused by one year, 1968, I spent in Vietnam.
The process is slow, but get him started ASAP. Get him on the VA Agent Orange. You will probably have to force him to go. A lot of veterans will not speak up or take essential action.
as an American, i wish the rest of the world would stand together and hold the US responsible for things like this.
I was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam in 1969 and have recently completed my 30th radiation session for cancer that is blamed on Agent Orange. What a mess! Best of luck to all of us!
Those who strike terror in others will be continuously in fear themselves.
Why arent anyone pointing out that this is partly MONSANTOS fault?
Exactly! If the government didn't know that the chemical would cause serious harm then it was the fault of the chemical company who lied in order to sell their harmful products
But you'd think the government would have had extra precautions for this stuff
@@adolfhitler1163 That's like someone telling you to jump and you asking how high
My grandpa was drafted, and fought in NAM. He actually received a settlement I think it was something like $50.000 in one sum. I was asking him what the settlement was for and what agent orange was. He told me what it was and also told me they’re higher ups told them it was to help alleviate some of the bugs and mosquitoes. Him and my grandma bought a house with that money.
Veterans who were stationed in Thailand are dealing with the exact same madness and ignorance still today.
Our installations were sprayed with agent orange (a dioxin laden chemical) for ten long years and yet we are refused the help needed to combat the physical effects of that exposure.
The VA insists we must have worked on a perimeter area in order to qualify for the needed help.
They refuse to consider that NO decontamination methods of any kind were performed on hundreds of personnel who worked in contaminated areas before rejoining every other person on base every single day and every night.
Mud, dust, and other debris thick with dioxin were carried into chow hall, mailrooms, showers, barracks, clubs, and all other areas on boots, clothing, and hair of personnel who worked all day and all night in the contaminated areas.
The ground around our installations was saturated with dioxin laden chemicals on a regular basis and left uncovered to dry and free to drift inward to the main installation with every wind and breeze (winds ranged from 3 mph, up to 105 miles per hour during monsoons.
The dioxins were spread throughout the entire installations from the perimeter areas.
No ground cover of any kind was used to contain the dioxin to the perimeter areas, and no windbreaks or other methods were used to prevent the dioxin from reaching every man and woman stationed on US manned military installations in Thailand.
Further, animals (mice, and other rodents), reptiles (lizards and snakes) insects, birds, machines, automobiles, trucks, and other equipment (ALL of them contaminated) entered and left contaminated areas returning to be used by all other personnel on the installations (regardless of location on base), throughout the day and the night- every day of the war.
The VA says the uncontained uncovered freely drifting and transferring dioxin could only have effected us unless we were directly on the area they recognize as being sprayed and contaminated.
They imagine the dioxin miraculously jumped off of boots- equipment- vehicles- tires- insects- animals- and all the other contaminated living things, and items, going from the contaminated areas back into the main living areas.
Our only safety between where we worked and slept and the drifting contaminated debris a few feet away was concertina wire.
All Veterans who were stationed in Thailand during the war (and their sons and daughters (and grandchildren)) are potentially affected and could suffer terribly.
Meanwhile, the VA plays this game of ignorance while collecting bonuses amounting in the millions of dollars every single year.
Hundreds of men and women who were stationed on those bases- die every MONTH- due to the exposure they experienced while there.
Exposure the VA contends was not possible, regardless of the scientific facts concerning transfer, and the TOTAL absence of any safeguards used, of any kind.
We've begun sending Orange envelopes to all members of the Senate and Congress requesting that they support a couple of bills now up for consideration (HR. 2201/S.1381) that would finally (after 50 years of letting us suffer and die) allow the assumption of exposure to deadly chemicals to be awarded to every Veteran who served in Thailand during the war.
Bases in Thailand were attacked by the North Vietnamese army and their supporters during the war-American fighting men were killed, American equipment destroyed- aircraft lost.
Those attacks required the use of tactical Herbicides in order to keep an area clear of vegetation for observation, in order to prevent further concealment and attacks by enemy forces resulting in further loss of American lives.
The VA opposes the financial loss to their yearly budget if and when Veterans from Thailand are properly approved for in-depth diagnoses and treated for exposure to Agent Orange (and the other 8 defoliants used during the war- Agent blue, green, violet, pink, white, etc, all deadly),
There are several sites on Facebook dedicated to the men and women fighting for their lives, their families, and their rights, who were stationed in Thailand.
"Operation Orange Envelope" on Facebook is one site actively involved in the struggle to stop the madness of the VA and to help us to receive the treatment and care we need.
Check it out if you have a friend or a loved one who might be among the silent sufferers being plagued by exposure to Agent Orange.
Dioxin contamination results in a slow replicating process that many are unaware of until it suddenly slams them with a condition that is far advanced due to early proper diagnosis.
Diagnostics which are not available to those not accepted by the VA if they were not on a particular piece of dirt the VA deems acceptable for exposure.
Most affected don't know they're affected until their condition is advanced due to lack of proper diagnoses and notification.
Too many suffer and die each week because the VA prefers a geographical condition as proof of exposure instead of using standard considerations for chemical contamination.
This needs to be changed especially when the contaminant is the most deadly of its kind known to man.
My Auntie has it. It was passed through from my grandpa to her through birth. Crazyyy!!
Agent Orange was tested near C.F.B Gagetown in the '60's were my father did basic training. Thankfully he was there in '67 after the testing. Other Canadians who were there have died from the effects of Agent Orange, years later. So messed up.
My Dad died from agent orange.
poor you😢😢
Not a fan of the NYT but these retro reports are gold.
It was also used on the Korean DMZ Veterans. There are also on the Agent Orange list. The VA denied me benefits for a year until they realized I was on the age of orange list. More people need to know it was used more than just Vietnam
Of course they would have lingering anger, they deserve to be angry forever :(
Agent Orange: the Original Chemtrail
FlintknapperJimmy it does look just like the chemtrails we see here
In that it doesn't exist?
Are you dumb? A government has better things to do than killing its own country! Jesus!
I mean there is proof that governments have tested these 'chem-spray' weapons,
but conspiracy theorists always look at CONtrails, which is what happens when a super heated turbine comes in contact with water in the atmosphere.
Geoengineering started even before this.
BEAUTIFUL
My grandmothers brother passed of cancer due to Agent Orange...RIP
US soldiers got financial compensation from Monsanto for the terminal illnesses they contracted from Agent Orange. Many parents of Vietnam to this day have children who are born terribly deformed because of the use of Agent Orange; perhaps Monsanto or the US government should have to pay the parents of Vietnam reparations for the suffering they endure because of Agent Orange.
im a Vietnamese people ,too.when i learned the history of Vietnam about this ,is was terrible about the pictures .when all the children are not yet bron,they are look sooooo poor.but peace is come so we have no reason for hate the gorvernment of US so .....😀😀😀
Elisa
I am not suggesting that you should hate the US. I'm just saying that a lot of parents in Vietnam are having disabled children and they do deserve financial compensation to help cover the cost of the care of these unfortunate children.
More documentaries please lol
Had a patient with 5 different types of cancer - first time ive ever heard of the "agent orange exposure" diagnosis
I am still filing appeal after appeal since the late 60's until now
Keep up the appeals, sir. Hope you and your loved ones are safe.
My dad's cousin was in Vietnam, he died due to medical complications directly stemming from his exposure to agent orange.
STOP MONSANTO!
Nevermind I-II
This has nothing to do with Monsanto.
Agent Orange was made by the government. The government demanded many US companies to provide it with herbicide which was mixed together to create Agent Orange.
How much are you getting paid
wasnt monsantos one of the key producers of agent orange? they did have some involvement in this
Growing up in the Midwest in the late 70s-80s, the mosquitos would be horrible in the evenings. Out of the grade school bus barn would come a large atomizer tank that would spray DEET into the air. The mosquitos would die instantly, but us kids rode our bikes right behind it. We were so happy to be mosquito free. I was first diagnosed with 3 different types of thyroid cancer at age 25 followed by metastatic disease at age 33. Not so happy about that DEET now.
I am very sorry you had to experience this.
I wonder what happened to that News Reporter @ 2:10 Mark from being exposed to the chemical so early. He was in the spraying field.
Dioxin was also what was present at Love Canal new york state and Times Beach missouri, the whole communities affected had to be decanted, demolished and became super fund cleanup sites
“Are we the baddies?”
You sprayed it. You clean it up
I think at 0:41, the boy in the white singlet is Loi the swimmer in the ‘Unreported World’ video about agent orange, when he was a child.
Agent Orange killed a lot of my Brothers and now it is killing me...we are all latent casualties of the Vietnam War. Recently I had a former Ranch Hand Pilot offer to by my house and he boasted about how easy he had it back then and since the War and what a cake job it was. I refused to sell him my house.
More than 40 years ago, Agent Orange was one of 15 herbicides used by the U.S. military as a defoliant in the Vietnam War to protect and save the lives of U.S. and allied soldiers. It was a unique mixture of two common herbicides (2,4-D and 2,4,5-T ) that had been used separately in the United States since the late 1940s. The government named the mixture “Agent Orange” because of the orange band that was painted on containers of the material.
From 1965 to 1969, the former Monsanto Company manufactured Agent Orange for the U.S. military as a wartime government contractor. The current Monsanto Company has maintained responsibility for this product since we were spun-off as a separate, independent agricultural company in 2002.
From 1965 to 1969, the former Monsanto Company was one of nine wartime government contractors who manufactured Agent Orange. The government set the specifications for making Agent Orange and determined when, where and how it was used. Agent Orange was only produced for, and used by, the government.
8:54 says “we’re cleaning up this mess” with a weird facial expression. He seemed to be more proud than sorry. Worse, when he said that, as if he was waiting for an applause and cheer!
Yeah, I notice that, too. His mouth did looks like he wanted to SMILE.
Ahmed A Pay Close Attention to the Guy behind the one that is talking look how he is saying the exact same words that the one in from is saying look at his mouth. 8:54. It looks like the guy behind is manipulating, macking or using him to say that.

I weep for all these poor souls.
That was evil the way they did the people of Vietnam and the Solders. Or country is capable of so much evil and good at the same time. GOOD people must stand up and fight.
good people do but it takes more effort than you know
Asiza Quidel Good people must be united, and be ready to die for the greater good. Greed is the root of all evil not entirely money.
this is absolutly brutal. only a psychphat could come up with such evil thing
My grandpa passed from this RIP Ryland Hollins
Good
I was in the northern mountains..I saw little if any help from the spraying there!
I just read over 300,000 Vietnam Veterans have died from illness directly related directly from their exposure to Agent orange...
I was at the hospital and I'm dying, cancer ... the saddest part is when a specialist tells me; "You have no medical markers for the medical conditions you have ... I don't drink or smoke ... I have five different illnesses ... the VA just gave me 100% disability rating ... nothing for my wife or children after i'm gone ... thank you for your service???? 2/502 Inf, 101st Airborne In the mountains we operated from, many of which had been sprayed. we took our water from those mountain streams ... adding that same water to our LRP's ... dried food which we had to add water after we boiled it and added an iodine tablet... "America The Greatest Nation" ... some how it missed me and my fellow patriots.... th-cam.com/video/Ehbc1zU1BwQ/w-d-xo.html
they knew exactly what they were doing
My real dad was exposed, and since 2000, can my Crohn diesase be related some how ??
I love how they dumped agent orange in the Passaic river.
My great uncle fought until his death to get help in 2005 and they didn't even want to give him a head stone or his 21 gun salute .It was awful
"Discontinued in 1970" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH No. it was not.
try mid 80s.
I've noticed a reoccurring theme with these"retro" stories you have been putting out.They all start with the government doing something horrible, deny they did it, then yrs later after anything can really be done, they admit guilt.The retro series then try to rationalize the governments position to revise history.Why no stories of their guilt when its happening and something could be done?Yeah...that's what i thought..
That's the Times for you
Round up ready
I had a friend a doctor and army medic who died from the effects of chemical poisoning from Agent Orange He died a slow painful death for his country.
my gaurdian died 1 year ago today from agent orange
@@truitons he was adopted you moster
My people are still dying from agent orange, thanks America
Drunk Asian don’t blame the country blame the company (Monsanto) who forced it upon the soldiers and the greedy politicians who didn’t think to check its effects.
I escaped the war, came back
But ain't escape Agent Orange, two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegic, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it they had it
My son died he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
a line from jedi mind tricks- uncommon valor, it is a great song
th-cam.com/video/OmIH8Sua0Yw/w-d-xo.html here is the song
i live down the street from an old factory that used to produce agent orange here in jersey.
Fun fact, agent orange was only one of many colours deployed, orange being the most widely used is why its called that. Several different chemicals but ultimately all possible carcinogens, all troops were test subjects.
Remind me why America is so great again? ... Or should I say, in WHAT aspect are we trying to "Make America GREAT again" ?
SupaDupa FlyGuy because of capitalism, which makes America great, England okay, and France, specifically, terrible
SupaDupa FlyGuy there are so many Walmart videos that can tell you ...
its interesting that even today, you get categorically distinct responses to the vietnam vs middle east war. this is one feature of america that we could make "great again"
"I died in Vietnam and didn't know it." I always thought that of my dad. He went in as one person and came out another (he words). Not only PTSD but his exposure to AO. He died at 46 due to heart issues. Wasn't until 20 yrs after his death, the VA admitted his death was contributed to his time in Vietnam and exposure to AG. Now my sister and I have issues that no one wants to talk about.
My Daddy said the same thing!!
I'm going through the exact same thing!!
this is what the americans do
USA USA USA USA USA USA
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
imperial bastards
America lost to some asian farmers so stfu
What do you have to say.No one has ever done such violence and madness against your country. So you might as well delete this comment and think, just think what you just said.
415City What lesson? That literally the north Vietnamese didnt win any battle and the huge casualty difference (US deaths 50,000 Vietnamese deaths 1.5 million) the Vietnam war is more complicated than just oh a rice farmer chased the Americans away. Also we couldn't invade north Vietnam because of China and Russia. Learn your facts!
Mr. Muller,
Please tell me who is responsible. If you are willing I will face them with you; we can deliver justice. I will sacrifice my own life willingly to stop them from suppression of truth. This has to stop.
Even after all we did in Vietnam the Vietnam people love us veterans
That is Forgiveness
My grandfather served in Vietnam and was exposed to AO. All of his male children (4) developed kidney failure and have died before 50. Yeah I’ll keep taking a knee
It's sad I know somebody who has this .
Pretty sad it took almost thirty years for the government to actually admit to the obvious dangerous of the chemicals, these men should’ve been treated like warriors but their battle hardly even began
Did anyone looking at this video attend Jump School at Fort Benning, Georgia during month of February 1974?
