The only exception is when an individual can prove through documentation having a direct (witnessed and verified) encounter with the herbicide. They have directed all claims for such exposure of personnel stationed on the offshore aircraft carriers to be denied service-connected benefits from contamination by dioxin-based herbicide. Every ensuing American death that continues to taint what is left of our national honor brings the hour of reckoning for the horrors of the Vietnam War closer.Īccording to the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), there was no way for dioxin-based herbicide used during the Vietnam War to travel from the land to aircraft carriers offshore. We will soon find that this cowardly act of neglect was almost as bad as the 40-plus years of lies and deceit that have not yet been paid for. Unintended as that might have been, another unexpected consequence was that our Government, and ultimately the American people, would renege on their obligation to care for service-related injuries to its Armed Forces. All levels of Government Agencies claimed to be ignorant of the cost in human death and misery that would result, especially within our own ranks. 1, 2014 - PRLog - When the United States began using Chemical Warfare in Vietnam, its stated goals were to defoliate jungle coverage to see the enemy and limit the enemy’s food supply.
