want cash benefits for families for everyone who died 20-40 years after war ended? Agent Orange has been recognized for a long time as cancer causing. I have friend who receive100% disability from it. Yes been receiving it for at least 15 years. Another friend diagnosed with PTSD in 2008 from Nam experience. Receives benefits back to 1968. If VA is underfunded to treat people raise the VA subsidy. It is sad that many vets are suffering from effects of war. So what is 400Billion going for? We have improved VA and accessibility to private care immensely.
