This war broke out in 1 Nov 1955 and ended on the 30th Apr 1975 all because of the U.S. government viewing its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. The Vietnamese decided to hide in the bushes and shoot the helicopters. But this backfired as America came up with agent orange. This was a liquid that was sprayed down containing harsh chemicals that could mutate people and kill them. When the soldiers returned home some had babies but the kids became mutated and deformed. Some kids looked fine on the outside but on the inside the could have the following-
Connective tissue disorder, which is EDS ( Ehlers Danlos syndrome)
Hypermobility
Vision problems
Muscle weakness
Sleep apnea
Epilepsy (benign occipital epilepsy)
Orthostatic hypotension
Dysautonomia
Long QT syndrome
Joint pain
GI problems
Migraines
Acid reflux
Arrhythmias
Balance problems
These were only some of them and all of them occurred to one child. Others could get: skin darkening
severe acne
liver problems
AL Amyloidosis.
Chronic B-cell Leukemias.
Chloracne (or similar acneform disease)
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
Hodgkin's Disease.
Ischemic Heart Disease.
Multiple Myeloma.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Huge lumps
And all because of a pointless war that led to nothing
Hi Bridget, thanks for sharing your 'slam' about the Vietnam war. Was the blacked out censorship deliberate? It would be cool if you could try to improve the format of your writing. It looks like there might have been some glitches when you transferred it from docs. Maybe use ctrl-shift-C when pasting and it may fix the issue.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
