Yes, the government needs to man up and take responsibility. Also, Dow Chemical needs to take responsibility. They knew about the toxicity of dioxin from the beginning, and due to Dow's knowledge, the government had to have known, too. Money does not replace good health or jobs, but there should be penalties against the fed. government, and Dow, and in favor of all ground troops and handlers who were exposed, as well as for the people of Veitnam. For some of us, Vietnam will never end. It is a haunting that will follow us to the end.
