My Dad is now once again paying the price for his service in Vietnam in the form of vascular Parkinson's. Caused by his exposure to Agent Orange. The VA was underfunded so badly during the fucking republicans rule. How my Dad managed to keep it together through the PTSD, the Nightmares, and the stresses of raising a family, i'll never know.
