"The New Agent Orange: Comparing Dioxin Exposure in Vietnam to Gulf War Syndromes and Sicknesses" takes readers on a gripping journey through the hidden dangers and devastating health consequences faced by our courageous Veterans. Derived from the plea of an Air Force Veteran, this groundbreaking book sheds light on the alarming parallels between Vietnam Presumptive Diseases and Gulf War Syndromes, drawing attention to the urgent need for recognition and support. From the early fifties to present-day conflicts, our Veterans have endured exposure to a myriad of hazardous agents, forever impacting their lives. Explore the dark legacy of DDT, a toxic chemical similar to Agent Orange, sprayed during the Korean War and even within the borders of the United States. Witness the banishment of these substances before the Vietnam War concluded, yet their damaging effects still reverberate among the Veterans. Venturing into the heart of Vietnam, the book uncovers the shocking truth behind the administration of seemingly harmless agents to our brave Armed Forces. Sold under false pretenses and believed to be in their best interest, these claims proved to be empty promises, leaving our Veterans to suffer the dire consequences long after their service. Step into the world of vaccinations, malaria pills, ordnance, and the infamous "Rainbow Herbicide" Agents relentlessly sprayed throughout Southeast Asia. With Agent Orange and its variants being the most widely used, the procurement of over 20 million gallons from various companies takes center stage, revealing the true extent of this chemical onslaught. As the narrative unfolds, the deceit and disregard for our Veterans' well-being persist into Operation Desert Storm and subsequent conflicts. Delve into the treacherous realm of additional vaccinations, heat pills, and ordnance infused with Depleted Plutonium and Uranium. Witness the harrowing aftermath of burn pits, where insidious "garbage dumps" spewed toxic fumes, and the release of Sarin gas wreaked havoc during Gulf War 1, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The staggering toxicity of Depleted Plutonium and Uranium defies imagination, leaving our Veterans exposed to unprecedented health risks. With widespread burn pits contaminating the environment and the calculated indifference of the Pentagon, Department of Defense, and military brass, the very institutions entrusted with protecting our heroes have unwittingly endangered their lives. Though some progress has been made since 2014, formidable challenges persist on the path to justice and care for our afflicted Veterans. The PACT Act has emerged as a glimmer of hope, expediting appointments and approving claims related to toxic exposure. Yet, the shadow of uncertainty looms as benefits may be rescinded if illnesses resolve and return, forcing Veterans to navigate a labyrinthine system. Over 500,000 claims have been filed under the PACT Act, a testament to the urgency and magnitude of the crisis. "The New Agent Orange" weaves together personal accounts from Veterans and rigorous scientific research, demanding a critical reassessment of government healthcare providers. It lays bare the urgent need to confront the health issues that burden our brave Warriors and advocates for expedient diagnoses and comprehensive support. Prepare to be moved and enlightened as "The New Agent Orange: Comparing Dioxin Exposure in Vietnam to Gulf War Syndromes and Sicknesses" paints a vivid and haunting portrait of the sacrifices made by our Veterans and urges society to honor their service by confronting the ongoing health crisis head-on.
