Re: Agent Orange
Phil, I don't think your missing anything. I clearly remember looking out the back of my hootch and seeing the perimeter tower that couldn't have been more than a few hundred yards out. The field was for the most part clear of everything expect small shrubs and grass. With the rain and hot weather in Thailand you'd think anything and everything would grow like crazy. It's take a strong chemical agent to kill for that long. I worked in TMO as a customs inspector. Spent many hours going through other airman's personal belongings and freight. Had no idea where any of them may have been or what they may have come in contact with. Didn't think it was a problem back in 1973 but it's a big deal today.
