Im confused with Agent Orange, cancer and chemo. Isn't Agent Orange in chemo?

not sure, just know it is very bad for you, there is a large law suit here in Canada against the government by ex army men who have contacted many diseases from being in contact with it on one of our army bases, some have gotten cancer from it, so they say.

Agent orange was one of a number of exfoliants used in Nam. There was agent green, blue, white, purple, pink and green. It is called "agent orange" because it was identified by an orange stripe on the container in which it was stored, not due to the color of the chemical. It's an herbicide that now can be found in "Round-Up" though diluted.

During the Vietnam War, the US instituted a massive herbicidal program that ran from 1961 through 1971. The aim of the program was two-fold, one to destroy the "cover" provided by the jungle-like forest, and another to deny food to the enemy.

agent orange is a herb aside the military used on the jungle to kill plant life which had adverse affects on our troops.
