Charles Kelley, author and Vietnam Veteran, pulls no punches with this book of scathing evidence of scientific, analytical, factual data and in your face style, indictment of conspiracy, against the Department of Veteran Affairs and several other government agencies. He promises; "With documented evidence and references to the evidence, I will show that our own government promised her Veterans care, and reneged on that promise. With documented evidence and references to the evidence, I will show that our own government, including the White House, has committed conspiracy against a complete segment of our society, The Veteran."
With great honor and respect,
Bob "Doc" Cahill
Excerpt from Mr Kelley's HOUSE COMMITTEE ON VETERANS AFFAIRS PRESENTATION, December 6th 2005:
This book documents a four year review of DOD/VA/Government activity in denying the many effects of our Toxic Chemicals (Plural) Legacy. Up until our “Vietnam Veterans Toxic Chemicals (Plural) Legacy” it had always been the policy of the Veterans Administration (VA) and “Is currently the portrayed policy of the United States,” with respect to individual claims for service connection of diseases and disabilities, that when, after consideration of all the evidence and material of record, there is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the merits of an issue material to the determination of a claim, the benefit of the doubt in resolving each such issue shall be given to the claimant. The VA in promulgating the rules specified by the Dioxin Standards Act of 1984, not only confounded the intent of this perceived intent of Congress, but directly contradicted its own established practice of granting compensable service-connection status for diseases on the lesser showing of “an increased risk of incidence” or “significant correlation” demanding instead the more stringent requirement that compensation depends on establishing a “cause and effect” relationship. Veterans are now calling this “Dioxin Standards Act” and this so-called “benefit of the doubt mandate” only a “painted and portrayed congressional deception.
