McCain’s Brain Cancer renews attention on Agent Orange
by Staff Report • August 3, 2017 •
by Charles Ornstein, ProPublica, and Mike Hixenbaugh, the Houston Chronicle

When Amy Jones’ dad, Paul, was diagnosed with glioblastoma last month, she wondered whether it might be tied to his time in Vietnam.

Then, last week, when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also a Vietnam veteran, was diagnosed with the same aggressive brain cancer, Jones searched online for glioblastoma and Vietnam vets.

She soon learned the disease is one of a growing list of ailments that some Vietnam veterans and their relatives believe is caused by exposure to Agent Orange, the toxic herbicide sprayed during the war.

The article makes no such claim for McCain. Just that it renews concern over Agent Orange.

Over 58,000 of our people died in Vietnam. More injured. Still others messed up mentally.

No joking around from me, about McCain or Vietnam.

Not for me. Those men were and are, my fellow American servicemen.

I have empathy and respect for them and their families.

My best friend from Infantry AIT didn't come back from Vietnam, alive.

Not that part. Agreed.   To use McCane name to "imply" he was exposed
