Agent Orange, a 50-50 mixture of two herbicides 2,4,5-T and 2,4,D, was first used by the US military in Vietnam in 1965. Prior to the use of Agent Orange the US military used Agent Pink (2,4,5-T) from 1961-63, Agent Purple (2,4-D and 2,4,5,T) from 1962-65 and Agent Green (2,4,5-T) in 1962. Agent Blue (dimenthylarsinic acid and sodium cacodylate) was used for crop destruction from 1962-71.In 1969 it became publicly known that Agent Orange was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a toxic chemical that had been found to cause cancers and birth defects in animal studies. The US government restricted the use of 2,4,5-T in the US in April 1970 and the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam was also discontinued. However the US military continued to use Agent Blue and Agent White (picloram) until 1971.
Agent Orange, also known colloquially as orange crush, is a highly toxic and carcinogenic mixture that includes dioxin, which is dangerous to the health of those who use it.
The "rainbow herbicides" were a group of powerful chemicals which were authorized for use by the Kennedy Administration under the code name: Operation: Ranch Hand, they got their names from the stripes that were painted on their barrels, orange stripe = Agent Orange, green = Agent Green etc, they did their job, but they contain dioxin which has caused a lot of still births and deformities in children in Vietnam till this day.

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.

No, Okinawa does not observe daylight savings time like the United States does.
