Agent Orange still haunting the US

Since the Vietnam War ended and the effects of Agent Orange have become more apparent, many are beginning to look back at the effect it had on the people of Vietnam.
Only America is capable of this evil!
And they gave Henry Kissinger a peace prize. He was responsible for this also. Obama got one for Afghanistan too. Start or continue a war and it seems that is to way to get a peace prize and the money that goes with it.
America killed over 2.2 million Vietnamese, and poisoned the land with Agent Orange causing genetic havoc for generations. These crimes didn't cause America to feel even one second of shame or quilt. Nor, did these horrors inhibit America from falsely accusing Iraq of having and using WMD. American media still periodically howls about Saddam's use of gas against the Kurds (who had joined Iranians in killing Iraqis). Americans have an inherent ability to overlook their own crimes against humanity, while vehemently accusing others of such crimes. America today, howls and howls about Iranian nuclear program while hypocritically ignoring that America is the only nation in human history to have tested two atoms bombs on cities filled with human beings. American hypocrisy is legendary in human history.
While I feel badly for the Vietnamese that have deformities due to Agent Orange how can we even think of helping them when our veterans (my husabnd for example) has been denied help from the VA for his Diabetes and liver disease which was caused by AO How about we take care of all our veterans who fought for our country .
The title for this article is silly... Americans don't give a damn about Vietnam. To 90% of Americans Vietnam is a war, not a country. Vietnam should deal with its own problems ...and the US should clean up its own oil mess. The US has three quarters of a trillion dollars to spend on defence every year, they couldn't afford the $5 per person compensation these non white poor sick people would probably end up getting in a compensation case, while Americans in that case would probably get millions each. The Vietnamese just need to learn that America hates them... mainly for not being American, and has no pity at all for anyone... even when they created the situation.
Troughs poor kids,My heart goes out to them. Agent Orange is called 24D or was and it provided great weed protection for many years. Monsanto has gone so high tech I don't know what 24-D is called now. But the company is "Got all the Money". Go after them because the US is broke.These big company's have destroyed the USA. The people are walking sticks with air between there ears. And when I say Monsanto has the money I mean A-LOT of Money. Here's some evidence for a court. 24-D took the lifes of tens of thousands of NA farmers.Prostate,Lung Cancer etc. Now we had other chemicals like Treflan but they didn't announce how much more dangerous 24-D was until around 1985. The Doctors figured it out and somehow Monsanto had no idea...for 40 years 24-D was mislabeled. Would there be records of Farmers deaths and how could they tell a Judge "We knew nothing". They knew everything and think there untouchable.I'd like to see them put in there place. I wish the best to all,Peace
