War is brutal and it effects generations long after it is done. Not only are there issues within the souls of our soldiers and citizens that we carry after war, but is also effects our children. Walls of unforgiveness are often erected. Bitterness contaminates us within. Then there are inhumane practices performed in the name of war that perpetuate pain throughout generations.

Agent Orange is just one example of the horrifying after effects of war. Agent Orange is dioxin a chemical that makes total war on just on vegetation but also on the roots and essences of life itself. The orange was clockwork from the start.

The historical atrocities are still being compiled. During the Vietnam War, about 12 million gallons of lethal toxin, in Orange form alone, were sprayed on Vietnam (on both Vietnamese and American forces fighting in the same jungles). Washington and famous corporations like Dow and Monsanto engaged in ecocide, poisoning from the skies the greenery and ecological soil and root systems below.

Dioxin working its way down through the roots, the soil, and water entered the entire food chain of Vietnam. Today among a populace of 84 million people, 1 million Vietnamese are afflicted with the after effects of Agent Orange. Women give birth to “monsters,” children are born with bright-yellow skin, cleft palates, deafness, muteness, pretzel limbs, all lolling heads. The terrible expressions on parents faces haunt you.

Americans alike were adversely effected and victimized by Agent Orange. Yet the victims legal proceeding and court action was not heard until after over 20 years of waiting. Admiral Zumwalt saw the effects firsthand in the birth of his own children. He later said about Vietnam, it was “the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time.”

When will we in America learn to not blindly listen and follow our politicians into wars that cannot be won? It seems history does repeat itself. Today American soldiers are coming back from Iraq in body bags, maimed, and grossly injured. Awake America!
