The dioxin contaminents in Agent Orang cause cancer, birth defects and a list of other problems...and are passed on from generation to generation.

what does that incesticide and agent orange do????

[mufti33]

The term Agent Orange has become symbolic for all the defoliants used in Vietnam. The concept was to defoliate large areas of Jungle to deny the Vietcong cover. Large aircraft such as the c-123 shown in the video were used.

Agent Orange wasn't an insecticide (Or an Incesticide as humerously stated above). It was supposedly used to contaminate crops that were given to the Viet Cong and to choke the life out of the plants they used for cover. Actually, it was used on the food of the villagers instead.

This is Malathion being sprayed.  AO was only sprayed from camo painted 123's with fighter cover.
