Undoubtedly, the jungle terrain was a tremendous obstacle for the Americans in fighting the war. For that reason, they fought it by all means possible.
The best, but also the most controversial weapon in their arsenal were chemical defoliants such as ‘Agent Orange’.

If you go to Vietnam, there’s are schools for children who is affected by Agent Orange, they are the forth generation victims. Most of them lost the ability to speak, hear, see or move. Some even have neurological problems or deformed body. Few kids I met there were told not be able to live pass teenage hood because of that. That’s the biggest consequences of that chemical, to be able to last through generations, not just causing death to those who interacted.

My uncle was a transport driver through the Ho Chi Minh trail (we called it the Trường Sơn road) from 1962 to 1970. In his diary he wrote: The first time i'm receive my task to transport the ammunition from Quang Tri to Tay Ninh, the road, it full of mud, and there is no green trees, only burning trees, some trees is look burning but when i come closer it those trees looks like being melting. It hard to breath in this road, at first we though it just because the smoke of their naparm, but after 2 years of doing this job, my heart start getting hurt anytimes i'm smoking cigaritte, my arm skin start change to brown, and sometimes it so painful, i can't stop scratching. Some of my comrade got the same things but we don't know anything and keep moving. My uncle died in 1971, after his truck getting hit by artilery, he had been killed by shell shrapnel, one of his friends return his diary to our family. Respect to all veterans of the war, from both sides, they have lost something back here.

My grandpa was affected by Agent Orange while deployed in Vietnam. He gets ‘shakes’ sometimes and his skin is all specked and bleeds easily. He had half of his left lung removed due to cancer, though he did smoke so I don’t know if agent Orange had a massive effect on that. However, problems that had no prior family history have popped up. My mother has polycystic kidney disease (the cysts are also in other parts of the body) and sadly my brother passed away about 5 years ago. His autopsy report showed he had the beginning stages of it, so that means my other brother and I may have it as well. In addition to this I have a couple of joint and tendon problems, none of which are observed in my family history. In addition to this my two aunts also have cysts. That’s great. Thanks US government and agent Orange, truly, I couldn’t possibly get by without it.... On the better sides of things, all of this has led me to really take care of myself and I’m in better shape than most people my age.

@domovoibutler42 3 года назад

One of the few things I heard a lot as a kid when the adults talked about Agent Orange was that the children born of the people who were directly exposed to it were surprisingly healthy but would later give birth to defective children! There were apparently movies having it as a twist to their stories and in truth, those were heart-wrenching moments as it was the innocents who suffered rather than the "guilty"! If the Americans just wanted to leave behind torturous trails of misery generations long for the enemy of the war they couldn't win, I guess they succeeded with flying colors.

My grandfathers brother fought in Vietnam and was exposed to the chemical during his time there, he later died from cancer years after the war. Worst of it the government never repaid him and he was never added onto the Vietnam memorial. It's sad how people and their families have to go through this kind of stuff and not get some kind of reparation for it despite how much of a negative impact agent orange had.

@Azian2DaMax 6 месяцев назад

Last year I traveled through Vietnam. While in the countryside I visited a large store filled with art created by artists who were severely physically disabled due to birth defects from pre-natal exposure to Agent Orange. When speaking to some of them I was met with a heavy sense of guilt from what my country had done to them, but their friendliness, optimism, and devotion to their beautiful art showed me how strong and resilient the people of Vietnam are.

In the first years of the 1960's the U.S. government tested a defoliant very similar to agent orange on the Apache reservations here in Arizona. I only found out because I was getting reservation fishing permits and was warned not to approach any metal drums I happened across while fishing because they are _still_ hazardous to this day.
