Does anyone know how elevated bladder cancer rates were/are in Vietnam vets?

Every time I read a piece like this or a Wikipedia article on a similarly messed up topic I feel sick to my stomach, wondering how on earth any of the men at the top were morally okay with such horrible acts. I get they weren’t aware of all the negative effects at the time, but cmon, dousing people in herbicides?

I mean, look at what their -intended- goal was. For agent blue it was literally to cause a mass migration via induced starvation. When you've broadened your choices to include that, what's a little long-term cancer risk.

Oh also, we should remember that the US dropped more bombs in Vietnam (Laos and Cambodia) than in WW2.

Have you ever interacted knowingly with sociopath/psychopath to observe them in action and understand things better?

Top brass of any large enough corporation or government body is infested with high functioning variants of such people, its a tough place to even get to, even harder to survive so that's hardly surprising. Don't expect much empathy from such people, if it ain't for their own PR in some way.
