VA Says It Has Already Awarded More Than Half a Billion in 'Blue Water Navy' Claims
 
Military.com | By Richard Sisk

Nearly half of the more than 69,000 claims for "Blue Water Navy" Agent Orange benefits have been processed, and about 71% of those have thus far been approved for more than $664 million in retroactive benefits, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced Monday.

The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act signed into law by President Donald Trump in June 2019 extended Agent Orange benefits already in effect for veterans who served on land or the inland waterways of Vietnam to veterans who served on ships that came within 12 nautical miles of the Vietnam coast.

This is a crock of Biden. Agent Orange was a defoliant that killed off the trees and bushes so the enemy were exposed in their hiding places in the mountains.

Not too many trees and bushes 2 miles offshore.
