More than two decades of studying Agent Orange exposure hasn’t produced a solid understanding of how the toxic herbicide has harmed Vietnam War veterans and possibly their children, according to a report released Thursday.

Additional research is long overdue, the report said, but the federal government hasn’t done it.

Duh! Ya think so? This should give the ME veterans an idea about how long, if ever, they will be given consideration for their cancers, sores, or deformities because of the burn pits and the metal fragments in the soil in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You would think they would have had it all figured out by now SGT (Join to see). There is a folk singe rin Australia, Eric Bogle who sings a beautiful song about a 13 year girl who is afflicted by a disease that her Australian father contracted while in Vietnam. You should look him up, he has some great songs for us Vietnam veterans; worth a listen. (http://www.ericbogle.net) I wish we had more American singers like him. Many of them are sad, gets my PTSD going when i listen to him.
