I regularly see patients with a variety of chronic medical problems related to that.    I can only imagine what it must be like in Vietnam.  To a man, every one of them says they were told the stuff was "completely harmless" and only had an effect on the jungle foliage.  One of the more shameful chapters in US military history.

Fellow I work with flew Ranch Hand for 2 tours and then Buffs during Linebacker.  How he's still alive is a mystery to me. (Why he's still working is also a mystery, but a different topic)

My great uncle flew C-124's to Vietnam and back, from the very early 1960's until he retired in 1973. He died in 1996 of an extremely rare esophageal cancer, that was linked to Agent Orange.
