I just read an article in Life magazine called "The Viet Nam Wars." The United States dropped 13 million gallons of Agent Orange on Viet Nam. So if you were boots on ground the chances of you being exposed is very great. One of the veterans at the VA said there were times the choppers would be spraying overhead and his uniform would be soaked in AO. If you were in the jungle those uniforms would be saturated in AO and you could possible have it laying against your skin for weeks. Upon returning home the government gave you 2 years after discharge to file a claim for skin cancer. The same thing with chloracne the veteran needed to have a diagnosis by a dermatologist and have it documented in a specific period of time.
