From Tom Philpott at Military.com Costly Agent Orange-Heart Disease Link Looms.
When we speak of cost, we tend to speak in dollars, not in the cost of the terrible illnesses of our sons, daughters, husbands and wives. We do not think of their pain, of the pain for their families. This ruling is about 40 years in the making. How many of our Viet Nam Veterans could not get the care they needed from Agent Orange related problems? We are very fast to send them, not so fast, not so dedicated to taking care of them. Shame on us.
How many newly made Veterans, active duty soldiers, are not getting the PTSD care they need?
If you don't know, find out, and use your voice for them demanding care.

Both Sides of the Wall: Reflections of the West Point Class of 1968 (Edited by Remy Benoit).
Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
