Used & Betrayed - 100 Years of US Troops as Lab Rats // Empire_File026 - YouTube
Despite
being "honored" by the US government today, many thousands of Vietnam
veterans (and their children) are still being denied compensation and
care for being poised by Monsanto's Agent Orange. A brief history here:
On Memorial Day and Veterans Day, politicians will speak at ceremonies
all over the country and repeat their favorite mantra: "Support the
troops."
This pledge is hammered into the American psyche at
every turn. But there is a hidden, dark history that shows that the
politicians are in fact no friend to service members--but their greatest
enemy.
An easy way to prove this truth is to look at how they
so quickly betray and abandon their soldiers after purposely ruining
their lives, and even after using them as literal lab rats.
In
this disturbing chapter of The Empire Files, Abby Martin documents
decades of experimentation on US troops—from nuclear tests to
psychotropic drugs—as well as knowingly exposing them to deadly poisons,
from sarin gas to Agent Orange.
Most damning is that the
hundreds of thousands of veterans seeking help from the government for
the side-effects are always met with lies and denial.
