There are photos showing UH-1 Iroquois helicopters (Hueys) spraying chemical agents over South Vietnam.
agent orange ws shipped from the US into US Bases in Vietnam then they put the agent orange onto the helicopters then they launch the helicopters to spray the agent orange
It was called Agent Orange. Its A pesticide that kills plants.
The VA had, and probably still does have, an Agent Orange program. After contacting them and setting up an appointment, they'll hand you a black and white photo copy of SOUTH Vietnam and ask YOU to show them where YOU were at and what unit YOU were with...as well as the dates YOU were there. Things will progress from that point.
No. As of the turn of the 20th century (1999) the US gov't was still studying Viet Vets & Agent Orange; at that time there were no concrete conclusions (for anything associated with this agent).
No. Air Force C-123's from Project Ranch Hand flew more than 6,500 sorties spraying Agent Orange and Agent Blue. Army Huey's were also used to spray the colored agents, but far fewer sorties and far less coverage. The C-123's covered something like 5% of the land mass of South Viet Nam.

Agent orange was a spray that defoliated plants so that helicopters could see better from above and soldiers could get through the jungles with more ease.

Agent Orange was a herbicide blend containing two chemicals known as 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. It was primarily used as a liquid, which was sprayed from aircraft and other devices during the Vietnam War to defoliate forests and destroy crops.
Agent Orange. It was a defoliant- it killed plants. Similar to Roundup spray you buy at the garden store. Not good for people, but intended to kill jungle.
I was in Vietnam in 1970-1971. Not only did we spray AO from helicopters, we were detailed to use it for weed control around our company area. I filed for disability in 2009 to the VA 38 years after returning from Vietnam for diabetes caused by the dioxin contained in agent orange known by the name TDDC. Once it gets in you blood stream, it never comes out and can effect you years later. I filed my claim, underwent a physical exam by a VA doctor and received 20% disability compensation in a period of 10 months retro active back to the date I first fired my claim.
You need to study history. We did not. Wrong war. Wrong country.
