As a good man lies dying: A story of life and Vietnam


Its cruelty to American servicemen who survived the war is continuing even now, compounded by a Department of Veterans Affairs that chronically leaves vets to suffer and die undiagnosed and untreated. Of 500,000 vets who died between 2000 and 2007, 58 percent were younger than 60. The veterans of Vietnam are dying young. It is not hard to figure out one big reason why.
Agent Orange was an unmitigated evil, I had firmly believed.
