Mattis visits Agent Orange cleanup site at Bien Hoa

Interesting moves afoot?

[AsiaTimes] Defense Minister makes second visit to Vietnam this year to highlight operation to remedy toxic legacy from war in the 1960s, while prominent dissident 'Mother Mushroom' (Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh) was released and allowed to fly to the US.

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis toured a former Agent Orange storage site in southern Vietnam on Wednesday, during a visit to boost ties with its former foe and counter China’s military assertiveness in the region.

It was Mattis’ second visit to Vietnam this year and served as a reminder of the disturbing legacy of the war that has left hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese with serious birth defects and cancer.

Need I ask why Henry Kissinger and Dick Nixon didn't stumble onto the strategy of constructive dialogue back in the 60's ?

Different laws in effect at the time.
Maybe he should visit Hanford or Others.
