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’.

So they could have just used salt water rather than chemicals. You be amazed how effective salt is at killing and rotting everything in soil and it does it insanely quickly as well. You also can't replant for ages as it poison the soil. I rock salt on the ivy in the garden. One treatment lasts about 5 years so it's cheap and really effective
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.
I knew a few people who died from agent orange and were paid by the VA for agent orange exposure...
i saw the word agent and i was like no no no no why this... speaking about something else
Hey! My uncle was exposed to this during vietnam, he died a few years ago from cancer. The doctors linked the cancer to agent orange. Thank you for teaching people about this!
the ccp war
when you go hiking with your friends: 2:02
Did America pay reperations for poisoning the people and the food for TEN years?
That's why they shouldev committed warcrime or use the A bomb
NAPALM GAS BABYYYYY
Fire that doesn't burn
wHy dO tHeY hAtE uS sO mUcH?
71-73 even grounds maint used defoliants on big bases for weed control wtf?
Damn so they lowkey polluted the vietnamese jungles with chemicals weapons for 9 years. Didn't know that
I'd say I'm surprised that the Americans didn't say "If it's doing that to the plants, I wonder what it's doing to our guys" But realistically, they more than likely just didn't care
disgusting
Anybody else slightly bothered by his pronunciation of the word "herbicide" or is it just me?
one of usa war crimes.
1:30 to skip the sponsorship
My father died bc. of Agent Orange.
would get covered in the stuff daily. Great respect to all who died from the horrible effects of this chemical
1st World War - Chemical weapons are really awful, let's not do that again! 2nd World War - Even Hitler vetoed the use of chemical weapons. I wonder how D-Day would have gone if the Nazis had deployed Sarin gas? Vietnam War - The land of the "free" reserves the right to commit whatever atrocities it damn well likes in the "suppression" of other nations. Today - MURICA!!! "We are the leaders of the free world, everybody must be grateful!" (cough: destructive hypocrisy and hubris)
Agent Orange - A fire that doesn't BURN
I see where Matrix got their ideas
Another quality product brought to you by Monsanto
America: The Nazis used gas it was a real tragedy. Also America: The egg heads back at home cooked up Agent Orange let's use it on the enemy but hey it won't kill them only give them long term birth defects and cancer.
My dad was born with birth defects due to Agent Orange, and I think my learning disability was also caused by that given it effects more than one generation
agent orange here in philippines is a metal song composed by the band of slapshock
Oh wow I have to do a project from Vietnam was and i decided to do 30% from agent blue or agent orange
Do Malayan Emergency next pls, I really apprieciate it if you make it because it would be interesting.
this seems like a good idea on paper spraying the jungle to see the nva and the vc but with positives always come negatives
Look up the Massacre of Mai Lang. Babies and children slaughtered. Smh this is why they won't make any Nam games on console they would really have to address their immorality concerning the war. It's the same WWII games over and over because it's the only war they can still glorify.
There are plenty of good Vietnam games
They didn't care they were spraying chemicals on troops in the jungle or little children who lived there. Smh
I dont know how americans can support their military sometimes.
It's sickening.
My uncle died of agent orange exposure I'm glad I decided not to see him in the hospital the way my parents described how he looked was horrifying thank God he never had kids too
acid not fun no moe -:(
Who else also knew Jackie Robinson's brother served in vietnam
Agent Orange knows I like nanoaugmentation technology.
When I heard 2,4,5 Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid the first thing that came to mind was “Return Of The Living Dead”

My mom said that one of my grandpa's was a ranger in the military, he was one of the people to work with Agent Orange. Him and including other rangers, got cancer and health problems in life, he died young. The government never did anything to compensate those soldiers.
thx for finally making a video about me :D
"herbicide" used to kill people. Nice. USA always being a bunch of assholes.
Video starts at 1:27
And people say that J. F Kennedy was a good president.
compared to the rest that followed him - he was less evil
Legit: The first time I heard of Agent Orange was on the first Rambo movie. It stuck with me that his friend had died that young and looked up what was that "Orange stuff" the lady was talking about
war crime by the US
We legit just started learning about this in US history this week. Great timing man, love the videos!!
my own country did this to our soldiers. Heart breaking.
Using such tactics cause more trouble to civilians than the enemy forces.
Vietnam wasn't an especially difficult challange. Japan was every bit as creative, desperate, fanatical, and unconventional, in addition to being technologically equivilant to the US at the time. The only difference that made Vietnam "worse" was the equally biased, but reversed role of the media. Where the media were spewing government pro war propaganda through all of World War 2, they spun around and went pink the moment the enemy went from National Socialist to International Socialist. They lied in the 40s, lied in the 60s, lied in the 80s, lied through the turn of the millennia, lying on the air as we speak 24/7, and every waking moment in between. This should be news to no one. But few actually consider the implications. Some are afraid to think about it. That much of our history is a lie. The most common form being lie by omission. Its not what they tell you that you should worry about: You can ignore fake news. It's the news they don't tell you that you need to worry about. Agent Orange isn't the sort of thing people talk about much. The only reason the public know about it at all is because the media has adopted an anti-war stance... at least in regards to Vietnam. But there was a lot more that happened during the Vietnam you won't hear about. In particular, what went on in China and the surrounding nations. No motive for the media to eport on that. But that's all history now. Today is a new day, and the media is lying with increased transparency. They don't even pretend to be neutral. They know who thier audiance is and isn't. Thier role as "influencers" rather than informers puts them on the same level as a random guy on UZload. Trusting them is no different than trusting a stranger like me.
Korean War parties used defoliants as well. An elder Korean Vet told me about it.
US of A the most murderous, depraved and idiotic empire in human history.
Ughh napalm
Agent orange aka Donald J trump
I wonder what else are people being exposed to that is gonna be a problem in a couple of decades.
Another US's War Crime for my country :(
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush
I've been waiting : this episode is sponsored by Sodom.
War is just effing plain disgusting, use words dammit, there is no need for people to be killed
Everybody gansta till the annoying orange joined the vietnam war
Video starts at 1:37
Yet many Americans want to claim they saved Vietnam 😂
All that forest and jungle and lives for an unnecessary war
Simple History - 'we present the facts but we can't condemn US war crimes because UZload may demonetize us - draw your own conclusions'
yeah....
Who in 2021 can still believe that US are the 'good guys' ?
The united states is a fucking monster.
You made 3 comments. are you done
US of A the most murderous, depraved and idiotic empire in human history.
Us empire? Never heard it before 🙈
More like cheating on your finals and graduating with honors.
Noooooooo, Assad used chemical weapons against innocent civilians...so we are going to fund isis,destroy the infrastructure of Syria and going steel their oil
I am glad that some 'muricans were also affected, this is so fxcked to find it ok to determine that one country and it's nature are treated like that.
Its not USA fault. Its US army.
LMAO at the thumbnail depicting orange stuff being sprayed. It's color and odorless. When the commies sued Monsanto their witnesses stated "it was orange and horrible smelling ". Needless to say, the commies couldn't prove the connection between the herbicide and birth defects and lost the case in humiliating fashion.
It never gone
"Dilmore is gone" "What time will he be back?" "He died" "What?!" "He died last summer" "Died how?!" "Cancer, brought it back from 'Nam all that orange stuff they was spreaded around cut him down to nothing, i couldn't lift him off the sheet"
First Blood Reference 😢
You know, I heard Agent Orange burned a lot of bridges with his colleagues in Vietnam.
When the sky starts playing Fortunate Son
My aunt has photos of my uncles and his buddies trying to clean off the agent orange that was dropped on them in Da Nang, miss you chuck ❤️
I was actually lucky enough to see one of the c-123s that carried agent orange at dover air force base in Delaware
T95 ww2 tank video please!!!
A fucking mess
That whole war was
Fantastic description of Operation Ranch Hand. If I hear people talk about chem trails I’ll point them here.
Agent *y e l l o w*
Not as effective as the number showed what you devastated your enemy's food supply
I don't understand how this is not chemical warfare.
I love my country, but this was certainly one of its more heinous acts of the 20th century
Great work Simple History. Im a big fan of your content. May I suggest doing one of these on the battle of Ia Drang? You seem no stranger to the Vietnam War.
Thank "God" CCCP still exist back then, to make United States look like the lesser of two evils.
I've heard of guys saying, "If it wasn't for that stuff they would have buried me in that jungle".
US: its not a chemical weapon! German 2nd Reich in WWI: wait a sec-
Poor kids fucking war
All we need now is a doc about when they tested agent orange in Canada, as they do with all their new weapon systems.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Mr krabs sold spongebobs soul for 62 cents
the true warcrime here
WHOOOOO, WAR CRIMES! Thanks america.
Jo nice video, i was waiting for this! It would be really cool if you would make a video about black hawk down
Narration and illustration are pretty cool.
My grandfather from my mothers side of the family fought in the vietnam war. He got cancer from the agent orange and died when he came back. All i have are his dogtags, i never met him.
Please visit Micahistory 2, it would mean a lot!
imagine having to live with this for the rest of your life
the vietnam war was so brutal
imagine being a victim of this
dang that was brutal
miricles in molycules just became a hole new meaning
