Agent Orange devastates generations of Vietnamese

[nhutranghi09]

Look at the children's eyes...... They simply didn't know why they have to suffer from the crime of the previous generation. So hurted!!!!!!

[xXRANDOPRODZXx]

War is war. Shit happens. it happened 30-40 years ago and war is an ugly thing, but you gotta do what you gotta do to win right?

[briggitbro]

@xXRANDOPRODZXx No. Chemical warfare should never be an option to anyone ever. There's a difference between shooting a man, and poisoning him and his family for generations damning them to an abnormal life of deformity and hardship.

[ElfineRanger]

This is what they've paid for, for Killing all the Hmongs in Laos.. it's all about Karma..

[TheRealAlfy]

No wonder why the world has bad tastes in us. I'm starting to have bad tastes in America too.

[SlumberCloud]

so its not okay to drink roundup?

[Punktowner]

That asshole doesn't recognize any connection between the USA and these devastating after-

effects of Agent Orange? God, how can he live with himself spewing such lies?

[Beatkpr]

interesting....I didn't see any deformed cows or ducks.....

[ArslanRaptick]

It hurts me, if i see the kids -.-

[MoonMango18]

if you dont want to deal with how "eh, vietnam is wrong! they should go down," and also, "US should pay! were dumb blah blah blah!"

then for one, why would you want a whole nation to die? words are violence by themselves and second, think about how most of vietnams enviroment was ruined? their beautiful forests and jungles, the ANIMALS. you do realize that tigers are close to being extinct? that could be why. vietnam is beautiful , but most of it, ruined by this chemical. we must stop.

[pokeglitchs]

in the whole video i was going what the fuck...

[telecasteredtodeath]

what Cunts.. what sorta sick fuck invents shit like this? it kills weeds and fucks your bloodline and your country forever? fuckenelman!! i feel crook after seeing the one finger family.. what other country has suffered like Vietnam? very very sad..

[samgirl03]

I think we are missing the issue, with videos like this. Our heads are turned towards the people being "affected" and not the act itself. Monsanto, as a corporation, has got to go down. They are doing the same thing to us, now- and distracting us with videos that make us feel for the people. Forget the people, they should be able to take care of themselves- no matter what color their skin or what county they hail from. We need to focus more on bettering society, or abandoning it completely!

[BasherCoon]

The FRACK is the US saying? There's tons of research that's gone into the effects of Dioxin on unborn children and living people, and they're denying that just so they don't have to own up and ADMIT their f'up to the world.

The US Government (as an entity) needs to be more responsible for its actions. Furthermore, it needs to be held accountable for those very same actions.

[chungvui]

i hope people learn after this tragedy 

[masterfastblast]

We are free from any responsibility by peace agreement with NV and SV. We agreed to pay billions in aid to Vietnam with one codicil, NV had to find a peaceful resolution with its problems with SV. Instead they conquered the South and this is why we don't have to pay and we should not pay agression. Also, there are lies in this piece, dioxin was not a key ingrediant of AO, it was a sometimes contaminant. More lies than truth so, sorry, the facts don't support Vietnam's claims. No money for VN.

[freeasthewinds]

@masterfastblast

What are u on about u do not pay aggression???? U paid France to help them control Vietnam and u paid many imperialist countries after ww2 as well as other dictatorships the only thing they had to show was their hatred for communism. I love when people have never picked up a history book or 2 and come out with this crap. The south was corrupt and persecuted many people u call that none aggression? Why do u think Buddhist monks started to set fire to themselves in protest?

[Thunderhead2772]

forget Nazi concentration camps. this is sick, and America just pushes it aside, and goes on acting as the best country in the world.

[corollatime]

dude, what's the dude name, something fractup, all fractup...this is a coward act that the american doing,,, a big country, a powerful country taking a small country,no half the country of vietnam, afraid of losing face, losing respect, they have to use a barbaric act against. this is a coward act

[masterfastblast]

The ingredient that is dangerous was dioxin which was a contaminant not an ingredient of AO. It was also sprayed in unpopulated areas and does not spread by water as claimed by VN. It quickly sediments into clays and soils beneath human activity. The only answer is the VN use of their low quality coal which produces dioxin inside the homes of Viets that use coal for home heating and cooking. Cooking with coal disperses dioxin directly into the cooking fats and into food. They know this.

[coolcoolcoolest]

the american were no help in the war, only if the american didn't take part in the war. It would of ended sooner instead of 30 years of fighting for no points. I mean they show up just to test their weapons, they just used the war as an excuse to test. not to help.

[MoonMango18]

@coolcoolcoolest i agree.

the US shouldnt be butting in to other peoples business. hello, Iraq? first it was, oh you have nukes. they didnt, why didnt we stop there. then they were all the taliban and 9 11 came. its sickens me. of course, they came to help SV defend themselves,but it didnt work. obviously, Vietnam doesnt have the money to be able to fund enough research, so the US should help. my point is, the US butts into everything with weird reasons, and doesnt try to realize their mistakes.

[AllFractUp]

I don't recall if I stated this or not but my dad was tank commander for the Agent Orange project. He had exposure to it in the course of its use. Oddly none of us are deformed, he doesn't have cancer, neither do his five kids. I mean if the key ingredient is so lethal why didn't it do anything to us?

Or, maybe it did and after decades since our respective births it'll finally manifest itself. What a slow acting poison if you ask me.

[FatPopCorn]

@AllFractUp because you were not inbreedint too

[subedei30]

"As I said I have no sympathy for the enemy or their children" HEARTLESS BASTARD! THE VIETNAM WAR IS FINISHED who is your enemy now? You still say the same thing about the English, German, Koreans, Japanese, native Americans, African Americans, Irish and all the Muslim people you were at war with over the course of your history? I hope for all of us that most Americans don't feel the same because I know that many Vietnamese people (not all) are wonderful and kind people.

[AllFractUp]

@subedei30

First off I know who my father is. Therefore I am not a bastard. Secondly, I have a heart for our soldiers, whereas people like you apparently piss on their memory. That's right, the Vietnam war is over so what's your beef?

Where did I say "the same thing" about "the English, German, Koreans, Japanese, native Americans, African Americans, Irish...people you were at war with over the course of your history"? What is an "African American"? Incidentally we are at war with muslims.

[subedei30]

@AllFractUp if what you say "the Vietnam War is over so what's (my) beef" then why do you describe the Vietnamese people now as the enemy & children of the enemy. Hence the reason I used my own country as well as others to voice my opinion that we no longer are enemies & this generation are allies. I respect your view about the war ect but not about the Vietnamese as a whole & especially now.

I dont intend to insult or take away from the good Americans that did serve & work over there,

[AllFractUp]

@subedei30

The Vietnamese soldiers that still live are still our enemy. Their malformed children deserve no sympathy from us. When you know that your children are growing up with birth defects in an area then why do you stay there for more mutants to be created? The sensible thing to do is evacuate the "bad lands", treat it if possible, or simply never return. Do people in the US live out where we tested atom bombs? Hell no! That's plain stupid.

[AllFractUp]

@AllFractUp

Do you recall the nuclear reactor that leaked near Russia? It made all nearby towns or cities uninhabitable. Do people come back to live there? I seriously doubt it. Who would willfully put their children, grand children, great grand children in jeopardy when it is proven the land you're harvesting causes birth defects?! If you're looking for someone to blame then follow the chain of events.

What got us into that war to begin with? Whoever started it is ultimately to blame.

[AllFractUp]

@subedei30

I may have slept through the part in history class where we fought the great "African American" war. You seem to know everything, so when was that and who won?

[AllFractUp]

@subedei30

That's super that you feel many of the Vietnamese are wonderful and kind people nowadays, because way back then when they were shooting the shit out of our soldiers that's not how they were. That's perfectly fine if you don't like our methods. Nobody here was looking for your permission to defend ourselves or our interests. And if our decisions don't sit well with you who the fuck cares? Who the shit are you to dictate to us how we should conduct our business?

[fieldthrasher]

@AllFractUp Exactly why was it necessary for us to "defend ourselves?"  Yes they were killing American soldiers because that's what people tend to do when their homeland has been invaded and occupied. Your post and your attitude is repugnant.

[AllFractUp]

@fieldthrasher

Aww...Boo fucking hoo.

[fieldthrasher]

@AllFractUp I'll reply to you as succinctly and with as much thought as you did. You are a dullard and an ass. Ignorance and arrogance is what led the U.S. into that conflict, "qualities" that you seem to possess in abundance.

[AllFractUp]

@fieldthrasher

Oh goodie. I'm dealing with a self-righteous "intellectual". How long did it take you to look up "dullard" or "arrogance" in your thesaurus? I would have to say those two qualities are the core of our Kenyan-born illegal President. Is it easier for you to replace words such as war with "conflict"?

So let me ask you this: How would you have handled the "conflict resolution" for the circumstances of that era? Armchair Generals with hindsight like you are so amazing!

[fieldthrasher]

@AllFractUp Actually, I didn't have to look anything up,it's known as a working vocabulary. I'm sorry I didn't "dumb down" my comment for you. You may want to do some actual research into that conflict. The U.S. didn't support Vietnamese Independence post WW2. We not only supported the French war in Indonesia we were funding over 90% of the cost. I know it's sound ridiculous, but maybe the 52% or so of every federal tax dollar could be better spent than on pointless wars of aggression.

[AllFractUp]

@fieldthrasher

Oh my you have a working vocabulary? Golly. Jeepers spend our tax money wisely? In a democrat controlled white house? I scarcely think that is possible. The wars are as pointless as those who oppose them. What exactly is a war of aggression? Like there is any other kind of war?

[nirbija]

I only know 'violence' to be of humans & against humans!

Although every wise person will know the value of animals & plants to the life-giving environment, and the importance of protecting them.

Violence is drawing 'first blood', vengeance-seeking, etc.

Police action to put a violent person out of commission IS NOT wrong, per se. It is just unfortunate, like surgery. lol

If the citizen did nothing wrong, then the police becomes the criminal (like bush in Iraq) by 'drawing first blood'. OK?

[s1nGuL4r1ty]

Monsanto made agent orange now they make gmo's and we eat that crap

[zzzpqd]

To hell with Vietnam and their problems. I don't believe them anyways. We better not give a penny to these bastards. There is no direct linkage only anecdotal information. Dioxin was not an ingrediant of agent orange. Get over it Vietnam all our responsibility ended when North Vietnam broke treaty and invaded the South. Because of their agression we are relieved of any and all responsibility. We only had treaty obligations to S,Vietnam so fuck off and die birth defects and all.

[sanfordhousing]

Having this intellectual and moral bankrupt as an American ambassador to Vietnam that is just too much for me,

[inmate22273]

How about the fact that we sprayed this stuff all over our own soldiers? That many of them died from many of the same cancers?

[kaiandseanrule]

seriously how can the USA be so fucking stupid

[CazK88]

I wouldn't say the U.S. was stupid. It was a strategy used to prevent the enemy from hiding in the trees and be seen. We were not prepared for the terrain at the time.

[ramkar64]

one should that the people of VIET NAM defeated US army the mighty one militarily. we all salute these heoric people

[zzzpqd]

@ramkar64 They did not defeat the US military they defeated the US publics desire to support the war effort. I laugh my ass off when I hear stupid statements like this. We slaughered millions of the little bastards properly and US public didn't like it and forced a pull out. We were outnumbered often 100 to 1 with troops eqjuiped as well as ours and we prevailed and slaughered them. War claims were settked in 1975, too late to keep whining, aren't they living in a workers paradise?

[mikeisaacs1210]

Who gives a fuck and they tortured,starved,and killed the shit out of American soldiers paybacks a bitch deal with it.

[anarchyshallrule]

and the US soldiers did much the same to the vietcong they captured.

[Jessibyron]

but that baby didn't torture, starve or kill the shit out of anybody and now it has to suffer a lower quality of life simply for being born in the wrong place :( that aint right surely?

[AllFractUp]

@Jessibyron

Those birth defective children are the offspring of the enemy that were trying to kill our soldiers. I have no sympathy for them or their family lineage. My father served in Korea and Vietnam twice. Where's your bleedin' heart sympathy for him or the fellows he worked with that died over there?!

Our men did what had to be done. I commend them for their effort without regard for those who stood in their way at home and abroad!

[leslucas]

You're right. Every child effected with this comes from a soldiers family, that makes complete sense.

I could see how you would want those children to suffer to, after all the evil they've caused in this world. Great logic!

'Our men' did what they had to do! And more! That 14 year old vietcong girl wasn't going to rape herself!

Good to see we have brave and intelligent armchair generals like you patrolling the youtubes.

[AllFractUp]

As I said I have no sympathy for the enemy or their children. Tough titties.

[blueinuslite]

forget about the humans, even trees, plants..the environment was practically destroyed. What kind of war is this? sigh..those people. However, Monsanto did apologize and many good things have been done~so guys don't worry too much~

[blueinuslite]

and of course never forget the victims who suffered and died..our prayers go to them..always..may you victims be blessed with all the best~

[hungchi85]

Poor children! God bless them all !

[AnonymousViet]

Poor People

[NotOurCause]

Goggle False Flag ,Gulf Of Tonkin was a staged attack by Israel against the USS Liberty to allow the Americans the ability to go to war ,it is declassified info ,mainstream news !!

[CoffinmakerXIX]

shut up.

[NotOurCause]

US Ambassador to Vietnam

Michael Michalak say Agent

orange has no lasting effects on victims !!!

[ramkar64]

Mr.Michael to proove this you and your family should take a bath with agent orange

[z0mbieEatBrain]

American terrorism, oh wait...

[WarDogLRS]

Still waiting for the people to wake up hopefully soon this shit has got to go we owe these people this is truly the hand work of Satan in the White House. God knows what else they have done. Ultimately they want you as depressed as possible in mind and spirit BUT you got to wake up

[krazeeinjun]

At some point sanity will prevail and the more responsible members of our citizenry will come to the rightful conclusion that "they" don't hate us for our freedoms --- they hate us for shit like this.

[fsmorel123]

@krazeeinjun well said!

[benwillvv]

tragic. this made me outraged. we as a country will forever be culpable for such an awful chemical warfare.

[tranglomango]

@benwillvv your country even kills it's on people, not one by one, for the masses

[mazrio128]

No shit they are! Makes me sick. Pointless f'in war!

[AllFractUp]

@mazrio128

How easy it is to criticize a time and the politics of those days so many decades later. What were your practical solutions when all this was taking place? My dad served his country and went to war. He didn't want to go to these places and he didn't want to die either. But as a soldier you don't get a choice where the military sends you or the orders they issue to you. You do what you are told and go where you are needed. Wars do serve a purpose. Freedom is not free.

[mazrio128]

I agree. My brother is a Marine who fought in Nasiriyah during the initial surge. Yes freedom is not free. Still, Vietnam was a disaster. Thank you for your Father and his service to our nation. Peace.

[thewaz]

The corporation who sold the military this chemical is still getting rich in the US.

[AllFractUp]

@thewaz

Good for them. As if being wealthy is a bad thing? They made a product that served its purpose. To get rid of the plant life that was shielding a common enemy. Did you or anyone in your family ever use lead-based paint? That was later shown to cause problems with kids. Did you sue the makers of the lead-based paint? Did you sue the people who painted with that stuff? Or how about all the other lead-based products? Did ya go after them too? We're no longer legally responsible.

[subedei30]

@AllFractUp What??? If you think spraying chemicals on plant life in a country the people DON'T want you to, is the same as paint then you're an idiot. When has anyone been forced to have paint in their room? If the Vietnamese bought the chemicals from America and sprayed their local plant life, we wouldnt be here arguing now would we.

[AllFractUp]

@subedei30

I did not say that agent Orange was the same thing as paint. Were you public schooled? Because you sound like you're a brainwashed dink! Hmm, so let's see...when has anyone been forced to have paint in their room? How about all the people that used a room but had no say in the design, construction, or decorative coloring of said room? That'd be public schools, as well as all public and private spaces where one or more persons had control of the decisions. Seems pretty obvious.

[AllFractUp]

@AllFractUp

I was never arguing with you. You are the one that wrote to me.

[nirbija]

There has been this distracting noise by US about Madman Hussein using chemicals on Iraqis; yet the US fails to even take responsibility for traveling half way across the planet to rain destructive chemicals on Vietnamese people. Such cowardice and lack of virtue serves neither the US nor the world.

One can only conclude that these war criminals are humans in form only.

War is merely violence and criminality on a grand scale. And violence is always wrong!

[AllFractUp]

@nirbija

Violence is always wrong huh?  Then what about the violence that is used to create food for you to eat? Even if you are a vegan there is violence in cutting up living fibers in the plants that you eat. Either by the farmers hand, machine, your cutlery, or even your teeth.

What about the violence of those who created our nation? Those who defend our freedoms? Yeah what happened to the natives here in America was shitty too, but we lost that war (I'm part Indian too by the way).

[nirbija]

@AllFractUp

"... violence in cutting up living fibers in the plants ...."? lol

How did you come up with this understanding of 'violence', certainly not from the wise?

Plant fiber is not human; it is not even other sentient being.

As for the violence inflicted in creating your nation, that of course was obviously criminal. To invade others 'home space' UNPROVOKED is criminal.

[AllFractUp]

@nirbija

Your comment was that all violence was wrong. So, only violence against other humans is wrong? You're not a PETA fanatic then? Ah, unprovoked invasions are criminal, which would mean you support the invasion of the Bush war that Obama is now calling his war?

I'm just trying to get a handle on your views here. You've contradicted yourself by stating violence is always wrong, but only if it is waged between humans, and even then if it is an unprovoked 'home space' invasion (war).

[bBoY8PaKz]

@nirbija

That is some shortsighted bullshit and you're just jumping to conclusion. Learn the full story before jumping onto the bandwagon. Idiot.
