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.)
