The post title is misleading, like many on this site. This was awarded in 1984, not recently. The link is to a story on the History Channell website.

It was no where near enough. My Dad flew from Nah Trang to Saigon every other week. C-130's that had been dumping the shite the week before. He had an advanced rapid growth colon cancer that spread to his liver and took him within weeks. Doctors blamed it on Agent Orange ....There was no cancer in my Mom's or Dad's family.

The three sons had to endure colonoscopies every three years afterwards. I said to hell with this after the fifth one ......Not one of us had an issue. We don't live with the fear of cancer ....But the damned government owes us ....

Still an absolutely ridiculous settlement of about $75 per veteran exposed and the team of lawyers probably pared that down to roughly $25 per veteran.
