Yea, Gary, another example of damnable acts of war. The worst impact of Vietnam War is the ecological contamination. During the Vietnam War, tons of Agent Orange was sprayed on mangrove swamp forests. Mangrove swamp is a typical tropical and subtropical ecosystem, which provides wealth of plants and animal habitats. Mangrove swamp forest, which is nicknamed as “The Kidney of Earth", plays a crucial role in preserving ecological balance.

I was thinking... could the author of these pictures provide evidence beyond doubt, that the birth defect on these children is the lingering by-product of the orange agent after more than thirty years later? I know there are many children with equal birth deformities here in USA and in China too. Our countries never been exposed to orange agent.

JC,
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Perhaps we should ask the Moderator to start a new section “what we hate about the US” and then everyone can post their thought there. It would make entertaining reading.
As a friend of mine who had escaped from East Berlin over the wall with machine guns firing at him said to me“ Dodger, they don’t know what its like to live in a Workers paradise”
