Last Three Soldiers Standing-Defoliation of the Korean DMZ

Book excerpt: We decided this book should be written to tell the truth about defoliating the Korean Demilitarized Zone during 1968 to 1970, which left a deadly legacy of toxic chemicals affecting the health of U.S. soldiers, their counterparts in the Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army (KATUSA), the First Republic of Korea Army (FROKA), and Korean civilians for years to come. The lies, conspiracies, and collusion between the chemical companies and the U.S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs continue to this day as compensation claims and pensions by veterans of the Korean DMZ are delayed and denied until the applicants die. Congress has historically acted disparagingly towards all soldiers who were exposed to Agent Orange and other toxic defoliants while serving in theaters outside of Vietnam--that needs to stop.
