Vietnam contains large areas of heavily dense forests and jungles which make it difficult for a foreign invading army to control the local population. Many who resisted the U.S. occupation used the jungle as a place from which to launch attacks and engage in guerilla warfare to defend their country. The purpose of Agent Orange was to deny the Vietnamese this cover and concealment in dense terrain by poisoning the land, water, and plants necessary to sustain the jungle and human life. The product "Agent Orange" got its name from the orange band that was used to mark the drums it was stored in.
Agent Orange was sprayed in Vietnam from 1961-71. It is a mix of two chemicals which were known to produce a dioxin which was highly poisonous and even cancer causing. The combined product was mixed with kerosene or diesel fuel and dispersed by aircraft, vehicle, and hand spraying. An estimated 19 million gallons of Agent Orange were used in South Vietna

as a tremendous potential for producing systemic injury.
Monsanto and other companies adopted that policy that "Under no circumstances may this letter be reproduced, shown or sent to anyone." Companies were concerned that "the whole industry will suffer," and lead to government restrictions.
In Vietnam, when the men in the field saw the effects of this chemical on the vegetation and questioned it's affects on them they were told not to worry. They were told that the spray was not harmful to humans. Despite the weight of evidence to the contrary the military and the Chemical companies continue to insist that Agent Orange is harmless. The chemical companies (Monsanto and others) point to a study done with the personnel who sprayed the chemicals from planes that showed no correlation between Agent Orange and the problems associated with it by the Veterans. The critics of this study point out that the average "sprayer" returned to base each night to shower and change clothes while the ground soldier walked through contaminated dust, drank contaminated water and wore contaminated clothes for weeks and months. The federal government refuses to conduct a study of Ground combat troops as a comparison.
Under the terms of the settlement, the Vietnam veterans who claimed exposure to Agent Orange would receive $180 million from the chemical companies. But those companies did not have to accept blame for any injuries that occurred as a result of Agent Orange. The Vietnamese civilians upon whom the chemical was sprayed would receive nothing and were denied suing either Monsanto or the U.S. government in court.Cody Toadvine
