Student unrest and the war in Vietnam were interconnected. While students were opposing other issues back at home, their main concern was America's involvement in what they deemed a 'win less' war. They felt that way because it was simply impossible to contain communism in Southeast Asia. They also felt that so many poor American kids were going over there to kill or die at the hands of other poor people. The Vietnam War and the lies that accompanied it seriously impacted and affected the student union movement back home. In fact, many people believe it was the war that led to student protests and demonstrations in the first place.

What countries besides Vietnam were affected by Agent Orange?

Vietnam wasn't affected; SOUTH Vietnam was affected. NORTH Vietnam may not have been sprayed, but parts of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Cambodia/Laos may have caught some of it. SOUTH Vietnam is where the vegetation was...that's were the enemy was hiding...that's where the forests and jungles had to be destroyed...to uncover the enemy...and keep him from remaining hidden. If the enemy was hiding and using forests and jungles in NORTH Vietnam...the US simply bombed the heck out of those areas. The place looked like the moon (all bomb craters!).
