Will it Ever End?

During the Vietnam War an estimated 21,135,000 gal. of chemical herbicide dioxin coded " Agent Orange" was sprayed into the vegetation throughout South Vietnam. 

It was used by the U.S. Militaryas a tactic of Herbicidal Warfare to intentionally deforest and destroy the dense jungle foliage that might provide cover to the enemy. 

Three generations later, it is to be believed that there is a direct detriment to the native people having consumed contaminated food and water resources that were assumed to be safe. The effects from Agent Orange, and the consequences of which have now manifested among their children's children. 

Village presidents believe most of the children to be third generation Agent Orange victims due to commonality in mental disorders, and physical deformities. The children spend most of their time inside without education or recreation. 

A victim who was born blind was able to communicate her personal experience. She was explaining how difficult her life is and the lack of resources that are available in her village.. 

A mother talks about her son and his inability to do anything for himself. His entire life is spent in his bed including eating, sleeping, and bathing.. 

Another child had his eyes directed upward toward the sky as if constantly looking for help. His voice would transition from child - like banter to demonic like growls.. 

The children of Agent Orange will need assistance with everyday care for the rest of their abridged lifetimes...
