Did agent orange work?
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

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.)

Are Vietnam Era Veterans eligible for a pension or compensation even though they didn't serve in Vietnam?
The VA will divide the "Viet Era" vets into two groups: Those that served in country and those that did not. Example: When filling out forms for the Agent Orange program(s) (for exposure) the VA will issue the veteran a map of South Vietnam. On that map the veteran will indicate areas in which he served. Obviously, if he didn't serve in country, the map is invalid. And so is the medical service attached to it.
