It’s been 2 years and you can pass all the bills you want but veterans are still getting the same old denied claims from people evaluating claims that don’t even know where Vietnam is a map.

This is all good, but.. may be too little too late for some.

cool, how long before they recognize the vietnamese victims then? 250 years? 1000? never? the answer is never, right?

This article is bullshit 5 years ago they approved 100% disability for any agent orange veterans that where ever near it.

Only 50 years for victory....well at least victory came.....congrats! And God Bless our vets! They never gave up & won!

It's about time. I'm sorry for those who suffered without compensation and just hope those remaining will be taken care of.

Honor and glory for our vets.

You’re telling me that when the GOP says they “support the troops” they mean they support them going to die in another country and don’t actually care about their health. *Gasp*

Now we just have to get the same treatment for the guys who had to work the burn pits during both Iraq wars and Afghanistan.

You mean after it already killed a sizeable portion of veterans? This country needs to treat our heroes better!

Trump ain't going to like this.

Michael White, 46, has been held since July, and is the first known American to have been detained in Iran since Donald Trump became president. His family says he traveled to Iran to visit his girlfriend, who he met online, and was arbitrarily detained. The Friday report quoted prosecutor Gholamali Sadeghi as saying the case is still 'under investigation,' without elaborating. He did not confirm reports that the man faces security charges. Under Iranian law, a private complaint would refer to allegations made by a citizen, not the state. Private? Ever since when are complaints “private”? In other words they are taking an American 'hostage'...
