    You should look into the ammunition of the United States used in some of our conflicts / Wars. A lot of them have a nuclear byproduct projectile that are radioactive and cause a lot of health issues. I forget the name of it but it's used in a lot of tank Munitions and things like that. Because it's very dense / hard and we'll go right through but when it explodes it contaminates the area. And by the way thank you for your service. It is a shame how the Vietnam vets were treated.. as for your son a lot of the burn pits that they have over there where he did his tours are causing a lot of health issues to the soldiers. My opinion I think whoever was responsible for making you all have those burn pits and the other things that harmed our soldiers should be held accountable. It's a shame that you go and fight for your country and do your duty. Then have to come back home and deal with health issues on top of all of the other issues that War causes to our soldiers is flat out unacceptable. Because you can't tell me that they didn't know that these things would cause issues to our service men and women.

    The Government don't have respect for veterans and just disposal them like trash but for me I always have respect for veterans

    I can see why they have comments disabled on many of these interviews. The trolling on here is despicable.

    I don't believe anybody who is tortured gives only their name rank and serial number 🙄

    Terrible interviewer, How does he come up with all the stupid questions that had nothing to do with Vietnam.
