  Many of us still suffer from exposure but are denied benefits for no reason!

  I'm a Air Force veteran who's been denied. I was placed on a agent orange disposal team at Mtn Home AFB. Id. In July 1973. We were told in a briefing that this  never happened and it can't be proven it ever  happened. The AO was poured down a abandoned  atlas missile silo out in the. Desert. It was a messy job and the ao was all over me and the smell my god. We were all throwing up out guts. Yes I  have lung cancer and diabetes with a server case of neuropathy. The V.A. doesn't believe me and says there's no evidence of ao ever being at Mtn home afb. Its funny that that missile silo is a chemical dump for corporations  today.  There's two other silos their using for chemical dumps also but I'm a liar. Who's the real enemy here?

  I am one of those veterans that serviced those planes and was all over those c-123s at the time during 1969. lung damage from exposure, ultimately a single lung transplant. Still have one non functining lung. Fought VA year after year for benefits. Took case all the way to Washington DC federal court. VA forced to give me benefits. Most don't have energy to constantly fight a system that does everything to hinder your claim. Even after proving I was there through records, on the flight line where planes were kept, within the dates of spraying, they still refused. And now their are doing it to Iraq and Afganistan vets. Keep fighting, refuse to quit, help each other, never give up!

  Spent 12 months in Thailand 1972-1973.  Worked on F4 and c130. Prostate cancer, hypertension and diabetes.  After 50 years finally got 100% disability.  Many of my fellow airmen died without any recognition or compensation.

  Once again, an excellent, hard-hitting, factual exposé.  Many thanks for covering this important topic.

  I was exposed in Vietnam and the VA is still denying claims from me and with certified time dates. This is what the government/VA does. Not even enough time to file new evidence.
