My Mom lost 9 family members in one week after a massive #AgentOrange spray attack over our matriarch village.

I will challenge every single person in US who still thinks their soldiers in Vietnam were ever heroes. They are ALL terrorist invaders to people like me/my family. They never should have been in Vietnam at all!

How many of you US military family folks have ever buried 9 family members killed by foreign invaders in a single week?

Please support disabled people, many are Agent Orange victims. Many were also orphaned by US bombs.

Our wild boars, deer & several birds completely disappeared from our ecosystems after US terrorists sprayed Agent Orange over our matriarch village lands. We lost 3/4 of wild jungles from that aerial terrorism & all of our food crops.

I spoke out about this in a documentary film.

Every war involves #ecocide. Legal wars or not.

OK. I'm ready to continue this thread a bit more, today. Starting with day the US invaders fled, although some were still left behind for a few years after 1975 official pull-out.

The smell of firepowder, mixed with napalm, filled Saigon city air, all that day, April 30th, 1975. 5 days prior, my parents & most of our patriarch family, had received news that US is pulling out & Vietnam will be reunited with North & South. We were in a local displaced refugees camp, within the city, at the time. All the adults started making Molotovs to prepare to chase US & domestic sellouts out of Saigon. Women made rock-swing weapons from scarves & rocks, to hit US terrorists on their way out. There was a lot of rage because many of us witnessed our loved ones murdered by US invaders & their puppet domestic terrorists. People were out for blood vengeance.

Mom made me a baby metal army helmet & baby body plates from scrap metal. Our whole patriarch family hit the streets. Me, on my Mom's back. Thousands of Vietnamese people came out on the streets, waiting to give US invaders a lively exit out of our lands. The first US invader truck was ambushed by angry citizens in sandals & my parents said that you couldn't see the truck after 5 minutes because so many people had surrounded it. The US terrorists in that truck were beaten to death & left on road. The citizens ran down the street, looking for more US invaders.

One of tbe worst parts of agent orange was the small amounts of a highly toxic form of dioxin it contained.

https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/tfacts104.pdf#

This is the chemical, still widely released, they stay quiet about. The Americas are full of it. It builds up in our fields due to trace amounts in herbicides, by products of the synthesis the manufacturers like monsanto are not required to remove.

"Dioxin, a toxic environmental pollutant categorized as a persistent organic pollutant (POP), is not produced or used commercially in the United States, but it forms as a contaminant during the production of certain chlorinated organic compounds, including herbicides like Silvex. Referred to by the environmental community as the "doomsday chemical," dioxins can remain in the environment for extended periods and are found in various locations globally, particularly in industrialized countries.

The herbicide 2, 4, 5-T contains dioxin, which has had lasting health impacts, particularly in Vietnam, where exposure has led to congenital disabilities and cancers among affected populations and their descendants.

Studies link dioxin exposure to several toxic effects, including chloracne and reproductive and developmental issues. While dioxin releases have decreased in the U. S. due to improved environmental controls, legacy dioxins persist in cigarette smoke and vehicle emissions. Although environmental levels have diminished over the last three decades, dioxins remain highly persistent and are typically by-products of processes such as smelting, chlorine bleaching of paper, and certain herbicide manufacturing."
