The sad curse of the "orange agent"

Children born with the so-called "evil of orange pain" , are socially repudiated.They are not only a burden for many families with hardly any economic means, they also rise as an example of that stigma that drag from an even very recent past: the Vietnam War.

What happened today in many of Vietnam's villages is not well known, or even less accepted by the US administration, who still refuses to offer compensation or help to all victims, which these days drag those crimes committed in the 60s.

Today in our space we want to talk about "bad orange".

The aftermath of the operation "Ranch Hand"

We are in 1961, and for President Kennedy and the entire military elite, what was being unleashed in Vietnam required new measures.Those guerillas against the communist insurgency was little more than a problem.that was getting too long.

Maybe that's why they didn't hesitate to launch the so-called Ranch Hand operation.What was it about? Of something certainly sinister: it was a campaign of continuous and selective bombardments by means of a defoliant herbicide developed by the Department of Defense: the orange agent.The purpose was clear: annihilate or make the population sick, produce a social and moral impact, and destroy entire villages.

The sad curse of the

  • Tumors and cancer.
  • Diabetes.
  • Congenital malformations that reach several generations.
  • Today, the milk of many women still has this toxin.
  • The environment was seriously "injured." River sediments are still infected.
  • This dioxin of the orange agent, is one of the most virulent toxins that exist.Its effects alter the human endocrine system, inheriting from parents to children.

Soon after the war, terrible cases of babies born without limbs, without eyes or without brain began to be known.And what response was given from Casablanca? That it was "communist propaganda." In fact, sporadic attacks were still committed with Orange Agent until 1971.A year after American scientists asked for the prohibition of such acts by demonstrating their terrible effects.We must also remember that many American soldiers were affected by this gas.

The sad curse of the

Today, children continue to be born with serious malformations.In fact, according to the" Red Cross "about 150,000 creatures affected with terrible diseases.However, it is only the censored, who receive more or less dignified attention.Of the rest, we hardly know anything.All a call for help before a world that turns its eyes to a terrible reality, echoing an unforgivable act happened in the past and that nobody has judged yet.

What is your opinion?
