During the last ten years, as the claims of Vietnam Veterans increased, the government has commissioned more and more studies, each claiming to disprove the existence of any relationship between Agent Orange exposure and illness or disease. Without exception, every government study or survey has been skewed or biased. Examples of government bias include exclusion of any ground troops in the famous Ranch Hand I and Ranch Hand II studies; the exclusion of all females who served in Vietnam in a birth defects study, concentrating only on the wives of Vietnam Vets, without regard to the veterans' high divorce rate; the mixing of troops together without any distinction between ground combat troops and Saigon stationed clerks who had no Agent Orange exposure, or the exclusion of all mortality studies of Vietnam Veterans who died of traumatic injuries or suicide, thereby failing to study vets who committed suicide rather than endure the pains of cancers which may have been caused by Agent Orange.

Recently, the VA has changed its strategy, and now claims it will provide care and compensation to about 1100 Vietnam Vets or their families. While this is great, it fails to address the real issue which still confronts the almost 2.9 million other veterans.
