The lingering war: Vietnam vets’ battle over Agent Orange
Vietnam veterans continue to battle health issues linked to Agent Orange exposure, with Art Gentry, a 77-year-old veteran, denied VA benefits due to his service at Subic Bay, which is not on the official presumptive exposure locations list. Despite prior approvals for similar claims, Gentry's case highlights the bureaucratic challenges veterans face in securing benefits for diseases like prostate cancer and Type 2 diabetes.
