Not in the least. Agent orange was a herbicide similar to 24D, used in the U.S. in agriculture. Operation Ranch Hand sprayed 11 million gallons of agent orange and 8 million gallons of other herbicides on South East Asia. Most G.I.s got sprayed at least once, not all fell ill.


Did uss coral sea or uss ranger carry agent orange in the 1960's?

The USS Coral Sea and USS Ranger, both aircraft carriers used by the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, did not directly carry Agent Orange. Instead, Agent Orange was primarily handled and applied by ground troops and Air Force aircraft during the war. However, naval vessels, including aircraft carriers, supported operations that involved the use of herbicides like Agent Orange. Any direct association with the carriers would be indirect, through their role in supporting operations where these chemicals were deployed.


Would being housed near the perimeter in Thailand bases be considered expose to agent orange?

Being housed near the perimeter of bases in Thailand during the Vietnam War could potentially expose individuals to Agent Orange, as this herbicide was used to clear vegetation and protect military installations. However, the level of exposure would depend on proximity to the areas where Agent Orange was sprayed and the specific activities conducted at those locations. Veterans and their families often seek clarification on exposure risks, as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes certain service locations and conditions related to Agent Orange exposure. It’s advisable to consult official resources for detailed information regarding exposure assessments.


What was a chemical herbicide used in Vietnam?

supposedly just defoliants but even some of our own died from this and many suffered irrepuable harm (AGENT ORANGE! WAS NOT A WEAPON, BUT WE SPRAYED IT AND WE DID HORRIBLE DAMAGE TO OUR TROOPS, THE LAND IS STILL CONTAMINATED, CHILDREN ARE STILL BEING BORN WITH HORRIBLE DEFECTS, OUR OWN CAME BACK AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE BEING BORN WITH HORRIBLE BIRTH DEFECTS. THERE ARE A LOT OF DOCUMENTERIES THAT WILL TELL YOU MORE. THE HORRIBLE AFFECTS THAT AGENT ORANGE CAUSED, AND ARE STILL CAUSING, MY OWN SPOUSE HAS PARKINSONS DUE TO EXPOSURE)

Why would anyone use an orange mobile phone?

Orange has had many problems with its business. IT has also had problems recruiting new customers and retaining its current subscribers. Many subscribers are very unsatisfied with the broadband of the Orange service and when they tried cancelling their service, 60% had problems with customer service. I would not recommend Orange Mobile.
