Agent Orange and Super Orange were the nicknames given to a herbicide and defoliant used by USA in the Vietnam War.
Agent Orange was a chemical the United States used during the Vietnam war as an herbicide and defoilent.
There has been no scientific trials that confirm the connection with Agent Orange and Afib but the VA has added this to things that may have been caused by the agent. Other problems that can be associated with Agent Orange are PTSD, attention deficit disorder, skin cancer, prostate enlargement among others. But just because the VA and the courts have ruled that vets can get treatment, it doesn't mean that there is actually any direct correlation.

agent orange
The herbicide was found to cause birth defects and such serious illnesses as cancer, adult-onset diabetes, liver failure, and chloracne.
About the only thing that could have substituted for Agent Orange, a very broad spectrum herbicide (which means it kills any plant it touches), is Roundup. The problem is, the active ingredient in Roundup hadn't been invented until 1970 and hadn't been formulated into a usable herbicide until 1973...and the Operation Ranch Hand defoliation program ended in 1971.
Agent Orange was a "broad spectrum" herbicide - one that'll kill any plant it's sprayed on. These days, if defoliation was used as a tactic in combat we'd just use Roundup.
