Children of the Apocalypse - Vietnam

[@Lrpesme48]

I am surprised at how deeply I am affected by the grace and beauty of these people.

[@chronicmonkey]

I have a late uncle who was "soaked to the jocks" as my father put it, with Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam in the Australian Army. I have a cousin, born from my late uncle after his return to Australia. My cousin has numerous medical problems, not limited to severe mental retardation. My heart breaks for the people of Vietnam who have to live with the reckless actions of a selfish, careless state. :(

[@tomtom2356]

I don't know what to say,, just wipe off my tears and wish for the Best. Lots of LOVE from our family. GOD bless you all.💙💚💜💛

[@iwashere66]

this is very sad and should never be forgotten.

[@Nucci604]

What have they done to deserved all this ?

[@eddiedeleon2425]

my question this pandemic era 25th of May they died young i surmised for i have seen those defects during late 70 on my own and another one may i add what are the effects to the children and populations of Israel and Palestinian alike the harmful effect of those rockets aside from psychological trauma magandang gabi salamat probably 25 years or more

[@XtoxicXXkitten]

Their leader, no matter what type of politics, was very wise when he said "The government started the war, not the common people." I think that really helped the citizens with their animosity, as well as I'm sure some of them fighting in the war didn't really want to partake either, just like our citizens. Even if our country doesn't fess up that this substance was severely harmful to the people, (though we should. I sure as hell admit it,) we really should be organizing more support for therapies for the disabled children there. Unfortunately with it being third generation in and it still happening I think the toxin has to eventually "breed" itself out. My son has to have therapies for being partially paralyzed (spina bifida) and has had over ten surgeries already. Without initial surgery with the hydrocephalus and shunt, he would have died. Without more surgery his legs would have been even more severely club foot than the one child in this video with club foot, and without therapy he wouldn't be able to walk with a walker as he can now. I don't know where he would be without all of this help, and it kills me kids over there can't receive the same. Children are children no matter where they are, and they all deserve whatever aid people can give them.

[@antoman11]

I am humbled by this video.

[@margaretsilsby2585]

this can be classified with a crime of war.

[@UtopiaV1]

The Vietnamese have such a healthy attitude about the war, so open and understanding, and are willing to accept the Americans help. That takes an iron will and big heart to not begrudge a country that has so damaged your country, and it is extremely admirable. I truly hope that no-one decides to use chemical, biological or atomic weapons ever again. They cause so much suffering to people who don't deserve it.

The Vietnamese are such nice and kind people. I experienced only Hanoi but I have heard they are just the same in the South.

[@mng1110]

What is the difference between the Northern England to the Southern?

[@SpoofTheater]

I feel bad for these people but what everyone needs to understand is they actually have it alot better off then most vietnamese people. The fact that they can send their children to school and pay for those type of surgeries means that they aren`t poor. If anythinng, being poor in vietnam is much worst then being born in a rich family handicapped. There are countless beggers in vietnam who has either lost both legs or arm and even then they have no one caring for them and are left on the streets

[@kinjomusashi4]

this has to be one of the saddest things i've ever seen.

[@mrs.lilmonster1719]

It's funny you say you will never forgive this country but I bet you're living here and sucking up the benefits instead of moving out of this country u hate so much. Here's an idea move over there and help those people affected. No? I didn't think so come off your soap box.

[@diamondcupcakess]

The little 12 year old buy has my heart

[@rosey312]

If the birth defect percentage is only 2% higher for vets and their decendents, how do we know that each one of these kids was affected by agent orange? Also, while everyone wants to bash America, a little known fact is that Austraila and Canada also spayed agent purple which is worse than AO in VN but no one beats up on them for spraying and it has allowed all the law suits to come to the US army only. France, Canada, UK and Australia was in VN too, but they never get bashed or asked to pay.

[@andy7666]

My God, how vile.. This really angers me - how can the US politicians say "Its harmless to human beings"?!? Maybe they and thier families should spend a week or two in the bush having that shit sprayed over them. A present to the President as it were.. Of course the Vietnamese cannot say "ALL disabilities are due to Agent Organge" - there needs to be testing, but the US needs to change this disgusting, backward policy making. Makes you wonder what effect the Flouride etc in OUR water has..

[@Kranbone]

@worldtravel101 You're right, the people who are continuing to suffer in Vietnam had nothing to do with the Vietnam war, rather they are the offspring of veterans. Why should they still be punished by your nations use of chemical warfare? By arguing against my points you're basically stating it's acceptable when it is not. I don't feel these people should have to suffer, they are innocent.

[@ricardobarreraacordeon]

thats fucked up.....

[@scarlettbildhauer]

This is really sad.

[@wishnwell2]

Me and my home have been invaded by a parasite. The first emergency room I went to shrugged their shoulders and prescribed 3 different meds. One for my blood stream. One for intestinal and one for skin. It seems to be slowing them down. But, it not stopped them yet. The Drs on my second visit to emergency said I am hallucinating and prescribed a treatment for round worms that costs almost $4,000. Which I couldn't afford. I have seen the same parasites moving under the skin of all the people on this video. I have posted videos of this. Can anyone help?

[@wishnwell2]

Because I was at my witts end trying to find a cure for what was happening to me. Drs. said I was hallucinating. But, I have recently figured it out. One I had mites. And, two they were causing a very evolved fungus.

[@wishnwell2]

This fungus was moving under my skin. And, causing bumps that look the same a the people in thos video.

[@skye_0368]

Hope you're doing better

[@user-jq8qv4yx4h]

Blaming is short-sighted. Atrocities, injuries, and death of all sorts happen due to wars, on both sides. You have to stop _wars_ .

[@MrMallorcaboy]

wars will happen, but civilians should be kept out of it, only combatants who willingly signed up should participate in wars. and faught cleanly as a war could be. and under geneva convention rules.

[@user-jq8qv4yx4h]

Yes, that's assuming the war combatants *adhere* to the rules of the Geneva convention. The problem is, a lot of them do not, and ignore the contract they signed. Other nations do not participate in the convention, join in a war and kill whoever the h*ll they please.

[@vikramtheone]

Is the US at least apologetic to what was done?

[@sirluke7]

As far as I know the U.S. government has not. Many U.S. Veterans have .. but it's not their place to do so ... My brother fought over there and he got brain cancer from the Agent Orange. The U.S. government did not even help the veterans when they got back. Basically ignored their health problems mentally and physically. It's just been in the last few years that Veterans are getting help, they so long ago deserved.

[@kennethmorales5121]

This is called collateral damage

[@shogun1]

War is so careless. We all want too much and end up hurting innocent people. If we spent half as much as we do for fighting Wars as we do for developing poorer countries become sustainable the world would be a much brighter place.

Ashley h alot of issues she had hydrocephalus spina bifida no skin over her abdomen she had no privates no anus had a colostomy bag a shunt in her head they had to do a chromosome test on her to tell the sex her toes were abnormal she had a water bubble on her back she NEVER laid on her back her whole 11 mo of life until she was placed in that tiny casket. I remember her a little I remember her screams from being in pain and I remember her laughing/chuckling almost I often wonder how it would be had she been born A ok I know she is in heaven Happy and Healthy with her brother my 28 yr old cousin, my aunt's only other child who passed 11 yrs ago. of an accidental overdose She had both her babies pass Strongest woman I know.

Why did the military do that

[@watchensee]

So I'm guessing from the 12 year old boy talking, over in Vietnam they're time goes past the number twelve o' clock? It just continues? Please help me out someone I may have it wrong?! =/

[@XtoxicXXkitten]

watchensee Guess it's a few months late response so I don't know if you ever got your answer, but they use what we call "military time." Between 12:00am-12:00pm it's all the same following numbers (1,2,3, etc.) but after 12:00pm, for them it's 13, 14, 15, while for us it's 1:00, 2:00, 3:00. Since a day has 24 hours, basically they follow that. Many countries use that way of telling time instead of the way our clocks work. Hope that helps!

[@watchensee]

@themandude20 As much as canada did when they sprayed agen Purple which had a higher level of dioxon than Agent orange. Canada is just getting around to paying their vets. how much should they pay to the people affected by agent purple? Atleast america admitted to agent organge a long time ago. Canada just barely admitted to agent purple 4-5 years ago and are trying not to pay their vets.

i just don't understand how - even w/ all the anti-war protests, we still did what we did in iraq. we tried so damn hard to stop it, but the bush/cheney rhetoric and their teabagger followers prevailed. and even now, why on earth are we still there and in afghanistan? can we just extricate ourselves and focus on the gulf oil tragedy and poor humanitarian aid into the places we have destroyed? is that enough?

[@stoneshorty]

Yes

[@Kranbone]

@blackxavior I seek justice for the innocent people your country used chemical weapons against which causes problems for past, current and future generations. They are as innocent as you if not more, yet continue to suffer. I think there should be some repirations paid or some type of revenge dealt, so that you can feel what it's like.

@blackxavior No it's shameful overall because the sins of a country are often passed down to it's people. My personal opinion isn't reflective of everyone, just as your opinion is bullshit to me. Furthermore, I'm not speaking on behalf of myself but a majority who view your country as arrogant, selfish and uneducated. Our government has apologised to our indigineous people, has yours? The apology is an invalid point because, our ancestors never did mistreat locals.

My personal belief is that something should be done for these people. After all AMERICA IS RESPONSIBLE for what happened. It doesn't matter how many generations ago this occured so don't use that as an excuse. I blame your country, because it was YOUR country who used chemical weapons which still causes many problems.

[@Kranbone]

@blackxavior I'm not sure that only the ones with power get reparations. Maybe the UN/WHO could administer it. Sitting pretty criticising me does nothing to solve the issue.

Though I feel remorse for this~ I do not. I am an avid Dog lover and I have seen 1,000's of Docs of Vietnamese torturing and butchering Dogs fully conscience.. The method of killing millions of Dogs is straight from Hell itself. No remorse from them when they throw them into vats of boiling water screaming in agony. Skinning them alive while it can take up to 20 minutes for the dog to die agony. So, really, I don't feel bad. At all. For every Vietnamese that suffers equates the pure and bloody torture they inflict on Animals~ Dogs especially. And , I don't mind if you backlash me. Eye for an eye.
