Mainly, people disagreed with the use of agent orange during the war because it has a bad effect on the health of those in South Vietnam at the time, as it highly increased the risk of cancer and other diseases. Many innocent civilians died because of it. People also disagreed with its usage because of it's harmful effects on the South Vietnamese Jungle, as it destroyed jungle foliage in order to help find Vietcong fighters.
