Greetings Right Winged American:

Let me get this straight, if a Vietnam Era soldier/sailor/airman handled the herbicide Agent Orange at an air facility outside of South Vietnam, the soldier/sailor/airman is now ineligible for compensation?

Say it isn’t so,
OLA

I wish I cold. But I can't.

I've been banging this drum for two years now. (Search: Blue Water Navy on this site...)

Further: McCain gets about 50k in veterans benefits. I do not know how much, if any, is due to Agent Orange exposure due to drinking TCDD contaminated evaporator water aboard the Forestall, but if this passes, he will have to return all of it, from the date he began receiving it.

I know, some of my shipmates who received it in the '90s had to do so!

And No, I'm not kidding...
