A Death Delayed
Agent Orange:
Hidden Killer of Vietnam
— A Remembrance —
Hospice. This is where the last battles of nations
are fought. Futile battles. Stupid skirmishes. This
is the meeting place for a hopeless and perverse
truce between good and evil. It is the place where
nuns do good work to provide ‘last aid’ for soldiers
who are dying from the evil of warfare.
Danny lies dying here in this place, dying as surely
as if he had stopped a bullet in Vietnam in 1968.
Of the many enemies hidden in those jungles,
Agent Orange was perhaps the most insidious. It
hid within the very bodies of soldiers who returned
home from those jungles without apparent
wounds. You might as well have ordered his body
bag in ’68. Kept it in a trunk.
