This is the name given to a herbicide utilize during the Vietnam War to remove unwanted plant life and leaves, that provides cover to the enemy forces. A vast tract of land were sprayed with the chemical defoliant. Today this chemical its blame for the many diseases that the Vietnamese people and the United States Veterans had been suffering since the war; some of those illness are cancer, mood swings, skin problems and birth defects. This is because the effects of the Agent Orange pass through the genetic system of those who were exposed.
It is very sad to see even today people including children suffering the effects of a war that they didn't live but they will have to live with the effects for the rest of their life and asking them self Why?.
information taken from different sources such as books, encyclopedias and an interview that I did to an US Veteran who believes he was exposed to this agent and its seeking treatment. I'm trying to publish the interview but I need the persons permission, I'm working on it.
