In this episode of The 2030 Podcast show, we deliver to you the theme of the trend in this decade which will see the reduction of veterans from prior conflicts as they die out — and the suffering that they still have (although we share some thoughts of how to deal with problems with PTSD even from the Vietnam War some 50 years ago or more).

Yes, it is just myself in this episode — and as a Vietnam Veteran suffering from both PTSD and over 9 complications of Agent Orange exposure (e.g., diabetes, neuropathy, gout, gerd, complications leading to Parkinson’s disease, heart disease symptoms, etc.), I see a great trend to 2030 of losing our Vietnam Veterans.

Today, there are over 390 Vietnam Veterans dying every day — and that means that this trend to 2030 will see the reduction of those who were basically the original “baby boomers” and served their country. And they will be dying off, even as they suffer today and up to 2030 with the CASUALTIES OF WAR — especially PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and complications from exposure to Agent Orange and its danger to health for the unsuspecting veterans during the war.

So what we have here is a repurposed episode from another podcast show called The Podcast Reporter, in which Mack Payne (a podcaster in his own right) delivers interviews with other Vietnam Veterans (more than 2245 episodes at the time of this writing and posting) and stories about the veterans who served in that conflict from 1964 to 1975. It was originally episode 611 of podcastreporter.com, along with some images that you may find interesting…

So, in this episode, we deliver the interview which we talked about in episode 566 of this show, Podcast Reporter. We also deliver this audio interview for a bonus episode in the podcast show being created called The Real Academy of Life.

Hope you enjoy this, as it was a very stressful struggle for me to give an account of my experiences in Vietnam with another Vietnam veteran.”

Thank you for your attention.
