Why Agent Orange Was Used In Vietnam

This year marks the 61st year since the US military used Agent Orange for the first time in Vietnam on August 10, 1961, and it is important that we never forget the victims of this tragedy.

The U.S. military produced more than half a million Agent Orange deformities during the war and left more than two million Vietnamese children suffering from cancer and other ailments. To this day, many Vietnamese newborns are still unable to escape bad luck, and are destined to be accompanied by pain for life from birth.
