40 Years After Vietnam, Blue Water Navy Vets Still Fighting for Agent Orange Compensation — ProPublica
ProPublica
Though most didn’t step foot in Vietnam, some 90,000 Navy vets who served offshore may have been exposed to the chemical brew and seek benefits. The battle is playing out in the courts and in Congress. It boils down to a comma.
