Military Commanders give Death Sentence to Veterans stationed in Okinawa
In the 1970’s Okinawa was home to thousands of barrels of deadly pesticides (Agent Orange and other deadlier pesticides). These barrels started leaking so after years of dumping and burying these chemicals in Okinawa, military commanders still had a problem with what to do with all of the barrels in storage that were starting to leak. Military commanders ordered the spraying of deadly pesticides around the barracks so all military personnel could breathe in deadly vapors while at work and at nighttime while sleeping. Veterans over the years have developed many side effects because of exposure to these deadly fumes. Side effects even include skin cancers, neuropathy, acne, fatigue, depression, light sensitivity, and high blood pressure. Many children born years later were born with spinal nerves outside of spinal canal and nerves exposed (very painful- Spina Bifida). Other more serious side effects include brain cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer.
American Veterans that served in Okinawa need to get compensated for their service connected disabilities. Please note that Japan (Okinawa is part of Japan), continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars every year from US Government.
It is now 2017 and veterans continue to die without any benefits or adequate treatment from the VA. To get more details please search : Okinawa/Jon Mitchell
