I actually know a couple of those guys as well...I am sometimes a little skeptical that they are as bad off as they say. However, both say the same thing in that it has ruined their life.

That’s some bad shite. My uncle eventually died from exposure to agent orange

You should read some of the arguments the VA makes when fighting veteran claims of agent orange injury. They defy logic in many instances.

I do all the drugs he does and I'm just some dude. Put things in perspective.

Talked to Vietnam vet one night at a party. He seems pretty cool until he started talking about having to kill somebody. Thought he was gonna break down. I didn't know what to say to make things better.

Francis Pegahmagabow Killed almost 400 people as a sniper in World War I and died in 1952. Might be the GOAT.

You can't call it Nam unless you were there.

My aviation teacher in college was a helicopter pilot in Nam and got sprayed by Agent Orange. He would lose track of what he was talking about and kinda space out for a couple beats. He also had these weird growths on his arms.
Cool dude with some cool photos. The chopper he flew currently sits in the Smithsonian Museum if American History.

Most of them are for real, but there are a few that have made playing the disabled vet their life's work.

I'm currently in Vietnam and went to the War Remnants museum the other day. I was checking out the Chinook when an apparent agent orange victim starts going off on me telling me how shitty I should feel because he has a messed up face and no hands. frick dude, I'm 33. I didn't do anything to you.

GOAT is Finland’s Simo Hayak AKA White Death.
Over 500 kills.....iron sights only.

I've met one person in my life that says he was exposed to AO.
Right out of HS working for TG&Y(Wal-Mart before they were Wal-Mart)
We had to go clean out a store that was closing down in Bessemer, AL and had to stay a few days in a hotel together. After he took a shower the tub would be full of skin and hair(I guess he was so used to it that he didn't think about cleaning it out)
Me thinking he was nasty as frick(which it was) I asked him about it. He told me and my friend that he was exposed to it in Vietnam and every time he took a shower he lost skin and hair.

Hmmmm, Vietnam war ended in 1975
2018 - 1975 = 43 years
That agent don't sound very orange, to me
