50 years later, we all fall in the normal mortality rate.

A person commented on my unit website, it looks like a obit page.

I do see the difference in morality for those serving in 1967 - 68 - 69 --

But People that I know in 1969 started to die off, cancer, heart issue etc. 1969 Quang Tri Province had a heavy use of AO.

IMHO, there is something to the issue. I can not say for certainty that it is 100%.

For my self... there are some issue that are associated with AO.

I agree with the Reaper, there is a lot to this than just blaming one thing or another. My unit roster is another.

I had a doctor comment about my medical records when I was 32, "Looking at the size of your records I thought you where over 60."

Everyone that I personally served with is dead. They started very early. Cancer, heart disease, lymphoma, etc. I have had cancer, CABG (listed as AO related), Lung disease, lymph gland issues, etc.

My feelings, maybe a lot of us would not have come home other wise.
