The U.S. Military used chemical agents such as napalm and agent orange to kill vegetation and harm the enemy during the Vietnam War.
Agent Orange was a chemical defoliant used to strip leaves from trees in the jungle and to destroy rice crops to deny the enemy food sources. The defoliants were sprayed to allow the U.S. to see into the jungle and see the Viet Cong that were hidden from air-view due to the trees covering the grounds.
The defoliants caused health defects in the Vietnamese civilains. Some of the health detects included cancer, sterility in soldiers, unhelathy and deformed babies and still born babies.
