About Agent Orange
Agent Orange is the code name for a herbicide/defoliant used by the U.S. Military as part of its program during the Vietnam War between 1961 and 1971. The Army used chemical herbicides in Vietnam, eastern Laos and areas of Cambodia in forested and rural areas in order to remove the trees, bushes, and tall grasses that enemy units used for cover. The Army also used Agent Orange to force people living in the countryside into US controlled cities. Agent Orange was found to be not only highly toxic to plants, but also to people. It caused severe health problems, birth defects and high cancer rates not only to enemy combatants, but to everyone near the chemical drops, including thousands of US soldiers and civilians.
