C'mon, guys, let's have some truth (2)

A woman Marine Corps veteran is suffering from cancer--treatable, at the cost of $1500 per month. But will the government who accepted her service also accept her bills?

Nope.

Medical tests prove she was exposed to Agent Orange. She never served in Viet Nam, only in Okinawa.

Hmmm.

Other veterans clearly remember transporting, using, and disposing of Agent Orange in Okinawa, as reported in The Japan Times:

"I witnessed on many occasions the Okinawan groundskeepers spraying defoliants around the buildings and refrigeration units at my barracks and others on Camp Foster," said the veteran, who asked to remain anonymous due to fears that speaking to the media would harm a claim for compensation that he recently submitted to the VA.

The former service member is currently suffering Type-2 diabetes that he believes was caused by exposure to Agent Orange on the base.

According to the testimony of other veterans gathered by The Japan Times, the use of Agent Orange as a localized weed killer was commonplace on American bases in Okinawa, where it was difficult to keep the fast-growing vegetation under control.

Raymond Adams, a marine stationed on the island between 1973 and 1974, said, "We routinely sprayed the runway at MCAS Futenma at the wing equipment and support group. It burned my skin. But it kept the grass down and moreover kept the 'habus' (venomous snakes) away."

The Pentagon itself recognizes that Agent Orange was used in this manner on U.S. bases in Thailand until 1975.

C'mon, Pentagon. Dig a little deeper. If others remember this, you can too.
