The Reaper Named 7 Rainbow Colors
In the Vietnam invasion war, to clear vegetation along our army's transport routes, American planes sprayed over 72 million liters of herbicides, including 42 million liters of Agent Orange, covering more than 20% of the South Vietnam area. These herbicides bore names of beautiful rainbow colors: green, pink, purple, orange,..
Bombs and herbicides destroyed over 2 million hectares of our forests, eroded and dried up the land, caused the extinction of many species of wildlife, and created an extremely severe environmental catastrophe.
But the most severe consequence of Agent Orange is its impact on humans. After over 30 years, this toxin remains in the soil, food, and human bodies, causing dangerous diseases for those exposed and their offspring, such as cancer, spinal fractures, nerve issues, diabetes, birth defects, estimated around 70,000 adults and 200,000 to 300,000 children nationwide affected by Agent Orange. This doesn't account for many babies lost in the womb or shortly after birth, never experiencing a full hour with their parents and siblings.
a. What consequences does Agent Orange have on humans?
b. What can we do to alleviate the pain for victims of Agent Orange?
