17. Veterans cancers and death from Agent Orange

Mon Dec 8, 2025, 11:34 AM

Dec 2025

My friend's husband in Hawaii died from cancer caused by Agent Orange. He didn't get sprayed by Agent Orange in Vietnam, but instead in the DMZ between North and South Korea. The Army lied and fought from paying vets healthcare at VA to treat the vets who were sprayed with the poison in Korea for so many years. It was disgraceful. That being said, my family has always served and do use the VA for their health care. I note that vets health care is good in California. Thank you to all the health care workers at VA who are being mistreated, disrespected by the GOP and Trump admin.
