Answer by Shell
Many Vietnam veterans suffered serious readjustment problems upon their return from combat in Asia. Many veterans, and family members as well, are still suffering. The term used to describe these psychological problems is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Some veterans, and their offspring, are suffering from diseases which are believed to be attributable to the veterans’ exposure to Agent Orange during operations in Vietnam. Agent Orange was the nickname for a chemical compound used by US forces to defoliate suspected enemy redoubts during the war.
