Agent Orange and GMO's

[urbsdad6]

The link provided is to an article that explains DOW Chemicals latest intrusion to our food chain. If you don't know what GMOs are you should. If you don't know what Agent Orange is you're probably not a Vietnam vet. Anyway we have until February 2012 to stand up and be counted. At the end of the article is a link to a page to file a statement regarding your thoughts on the matter. Please have some thoughts and let the government know that we don't want more poison in the food chain.

Thanks for posting about such an important matter which no doubt effects us all.

Still, betcha not all out there (even Vietnam Veterans) know what GMO's are.

Also, betcha that many, many Vietnam REMF's or REC's (Rear Echelon Commandos as called in my day) never even heard of Agent Orange either? Well, at least those many whom never loaded the planes or delivery system or even knew about that deadly stuff, anyway.

Just how many years went by before VA admitted that AO even existed?

What a sad tragedy. Poor Andy.

P.S. Happy New Year to All

By the end of the war, the water was so full of Agent Orange that, even if you were never in the jungle, you got it.

Now that we're older, our bodies are tired of fighting the effects and many Vietnam Veterans who did not think that they were in trouble, are.

Darrel,
Sorry hearing that ALL (both combattants & non & friend & enemy): "In Country" were victimized by Agent Orange.

Thus, I guess it fair saying that even in Vietnam people are/were nothing more than guinea pigs or hamsters for big pharmaceutical corps. which are disgustingly financed totally by The U.S. Taxpayer.

Amazing, isn't it?
We Americans were duped into actually paying to harm & kill Fellow Americans & Allies.

Regardless, even hamsters experimented on have/had it much better. Such at least have a nice little wheel to run on, before ignorant government experiments take their inevitable tolls.

Any of you Fellow Veterans (or not) ever wonder how many worldwide died painfully due DDT, before its sprayings on crops were eventually banned? Hazzards of DDT were just as adamently denied back then,...as AO's were and still are by some.
