We had some men in our company that were Vietnam veterans years ago. I can’t remember any of them beating it. When they left the company it was because they had died or were battling cancer long term. Now that I am thinking about this, I know for sure of one man that committed suicide because of having cancer, but something tells me we had two Vietnam Vets that killed them selves.

Thank you, @FastTrax for bringing this to light.
H-70 (Hydrazine) is some nasty stuff.

At my last duty station, I was an instructor for the Disaster Response Force.
We had F-16's and any spill was a very big deal.

I read somewhere that the SR71 actually leaks fuel when it's not in flight.

The only thing I know about Hydrazine is that it is used in rocket fuel and when mixed with liquid oxygen, it becomes a main propellant with other chemicals and then used in rocket fuel.
