>Agent Orange is somewhat harmless

It was a toxic chemical agent used as a weapon on civilian populations. The US has used that as an excuse to coup other countries. Why are we not held to the same standard?

We know it increased birth defects, cancer rates, and other health issues, which is why the VA pays US soldiers that were exposed. There's a reason we weaponized it, and it wasn't because it was somewhat harmless
