These illnesses are all occurring in U.S. veterans. Large head syndrome, retardation, sever bone malformation, uncontrolled muscle spasms, and hyper activity are occurring in the offspring of people who handled or came in contact with the defoliant. Not only did Agent Orange destroy lives, it destroyed crops, fields, and homes. Billions of dollars worth of damage occurred from the use of Agent Orange. About 42 percent of the amount of Agent Orange that we used was devoted to crop destruction; the products of hours of hard work were demolished within seconds.
* Agent Orange was developed in the 1940’s. * 20 years later, it was tested in Vietnam. * Other exposure sights such as Korean Demilitarized Zone, Thailand Military Bases, and several others were affected. * Agent Orange was a herbicide used by the U.S. military in the Vietnam war * It was part of operation Ranch hand * Received its name from the color coded bands used on the drums it was transported in * Used to eliminate the large amount of vegetation in Vietnam * Purpose was to deny an enemy cover, concealment and crops * Defoliated trees and shrubbery where the enemy could hide * About 10 percent of the tall trees making up the forest canopy were killed. * Many of the plant damaged areas that were affected
These numbers mean tragic and brutal deaths in addition to the separation of countless families. Equally abhorring is the repercussion of chemical warfare. According to Jason Grotto in his newspaper article, ”A Tainted Peace”, thousands of gallons of herbicides and defoliants were sprayed over fields of crop and villages by the U.S. to target the Vietcong—southern Vietnamese rebels who supported communism—and their food supply (1). The result of the spraying is indisputable as stated by Grotto that 5 out of every 100 children in Vietnam are born some form of physical or mental abnormality, a four times increase since the start of the war (1). This places an immense strain on society as so many children are born with severe deformities—including babies born with organs on the outside and missing external body parts.
The CGP, 1994-2012 The Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979, in which approximately 1.7 million people lost their lives (21% of the country's population), was one of the worst human tragedies of the last century. As in the Ottoman Empire during the Armenian genocide, in Nazi Germany, and more recently in East Timor, Guatemala, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda, the Khmer Rouge regime headed by Pol Pot combined extremist ideology with ethnic animosity and a diabolical disregard for human life to produce repression, misery, and murder on a massive scale. On July 18, 2007, Cambodian and international co-prosecutors at the newly established mixed UN/Cambodian tribunal in Phnom Penh found evidence of "crimes against humanity, genocide, grave breaches of the Geneva Convention, homicide, torture and religious persecution." Since 1994, the award-winning Cambodian Genocide Program, a project of the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University's MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, has been studying these events to learn as much as possible about the tragedy, and to help determine who was responsible for the crimes of the Pol Pot regime. In Phnom Penh in 1996, for instance, we obtained access to the 100,000-page archive of that defunct regime's security police, the Santebal.

The Black Plague Ring around the Rosies pocketful of posies, ashes, ashes we all fall down. These are the words to the famous nursery rhyme about the Black Plague. Many people perished and many more people mourned for those unlucky enough to die. For about thirty years the Black Plague reined the earth leaving behind a trail of despair for the survivors to cope with. Firstly there are many ways the Plague was said to have begun and how to cure it.
During this war, the American military utilized defoliants, which are known chemicals causing the plant’s leave to fall. One of the defoliants used by the military is Agent Orange and the PR Newswire (“HDNet world report investigates the devastating effects of Agent Orange 30 years after the Vietnam War”, 2009) reported that it is included with the20 million gallons of other herbicides that they dropped in the jungles of the Vietnam. The concentration level of this defoliants reaches up to 50 times, and the effect does not only appear to be detrimental among trees. Since, dioxin is a byproduct of Agent Orange, many people has been exposed in what the world call as the
Because of this, many people suffer and or die if they are left untreated. During the middle ages, it killed one third of Europe’s population. This disease comes with symptoms such as chills, fever, ill feeling, headache, muscle pain, seizures, swelling, cough, breathing problems, vomiting, etc. It is
The plague typically killed sixty to seventy percent of its human victims. It actually wiped out some small villages and towns. Social, economic, and demographics on the society were affected during this time, and in later centuries. How much change to society and economics of the world did this plague cause, and what was the Black Death? The Black Death was another word for the Bubonic plague.
