In regard to Agent Orange, there may be be doubts as to who exactly was
exposed and what the results may have been, but there is no denying that
the chemical was used, that it was extremely dangerous, and that it
caused horrific damage to hundreds of thousands of people, including
U.S. military personnel. *That* it did so was denied for years, and many
who suffered from its impact received a pittance or nothing for their
problems.
I think the truth is somewhere between what the government says and
what the lawyers allege
Consider all the TV ads we see everyday featuring law firms that chase
claims for Mesothelioma. Heck, the whole ET shop and Radio Shack on
both ships I was on were wrapped in asbestos because the ship's stack
went up through the middle of them. The way the ads are written, they
make it sound like if you were within 100 feet of the stuff you have a
claim.
