Did agent orange work

Answer 1

To say it worked is an understatement. Agent Orange, part of the "Rainbow Herbicides" was a chemical agent sprayed over South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange is the most famous of these chemical agents because it was the worse. Since its application, South Vietnam has seen over 400,000 deaths caused by exposure and over 500,000 birth defects. Just like all of the Rainbow Herbicides, Agent Orange was a defoliant, originally used to destroy the dense forests of Vietnam and around sensitive base areas to get people to flee to South Vietnam. Initially they thought there were no effects on humans. The Department of Veteran Affairs has listed the following diseases in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange: prostate cancer, respiratory cancers, multiple myeloma, type II diabetes, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, soft tissue sarcoma, chloracne, porphyria cutanea tarda, peripheral neuropathy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and spina bifida
