What was the reaction of the American public to agent orange?
Agent Orange and the dangers of Dioxin associated with it didn't come to light in the U.S. until the late 70's into the early 80's. Because of the general unpleasant memories associated with the Vietnam war and all the turmoil, there was little sympathy or understanding of the implications of Agent Orange Exposure. Because of the potentially enormous financial responsibility it could impose on the Veterans Administration, it took congressional action to investigate, understand, and fund research, treatment, and compensation for Vietnam Veterans. By the mid-to-late 1980's, the VA set up a national registry of Vietnam Vets who may have been exposed to Agent Orange. (Not all Vietnam veterans were exposed to the defoliant - depending on where, when, and how they served in country.)

DURING WARTIME, AGENT ORANGE was widly used as a defoliant in jungle or heavily forested areas. The whole area was sprayed, killing all of the trees leaves and foliage, making it eaiser for us to see the enemy. HOWEVER: You didn't have to be right there to be exposed to it. I know people who were in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. They were exposed to agent orange in the process of making it,packaging it, storing it, loading it,shipping it, dispersing it and many other possible ways.
