The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam has a non-stop documentary on the effects of Agent Orange along with several large walls of children suffering birth defects because of it.
The UN estimates there are over 220,000 people in Vietnam suffering long-term disabilities, The majority of them are children suffering birth defects.
Vietnam tried to sue the US for damages in the World Court over the use of Agent Orange but to date their efforts to get compensation and hold the US accountable have failed.
It was not until the 1990’s that the Veterans Administration began acknowledging the wide range of disabilities that Agent Orange can cause.
Monsanto along with Dow Chemical Co were the major producers of Agent Orange.
Responsible for hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and the continual suffering and slow termination of many more from the spraying of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Mainly Vietnamese civilains but also Vietmamese and American solders and their allies.
