Mike, I have to say that I know heaps of Australianand US Vietnam veterans, many of them with health issues attributable to A.O. Some have been awarded compensation from DVA or the V.A. respectively, but not one of those I know personally ever received a penny in compensation from the Dow lawsuit. I can't say that I am happy or surprised that a minority without morals, ethics or scruples - besides the lawyers of course, managed to 'milk that cow'.
