Re: Agent Orange Effects on Children
You need to read the wiki page a little closer. What was the purpose of them using agent orange? it wasn't to cause birth defects and kill people with chemicals. It was to defoliate the trees so that snipers and other troops couldn't hide in them. it was also used to kill crops so that people would have to move to cities already controlled and thus cut down on available personnel for the enemy. this wasn't a, "lets go gas all these people so that they die". Agent orange isn't even that type of chemical (like, say sarin). sure people died, but high concentrations of almost anything will kill you. they did it to kill crops and trees. |

Re: Agent Orange Effects on Children
You need to read my quote a bit closer. I never said they used the chemicals to purposefully cause birth defects. They were ignorant of the long term effects of the chemicals. Its commonsense really that if the chemicals spread kill crops and trees its going to have effect on the people living on that land??? "high concentrations of almost anything will kill you" as quoted by you, -that is what they used high concentration of the chemicals that make up "agent orange" and then you said right after that "they did it to kill crops and trees" think about what you wrote, you condradicted yourself. I was simply stating that they were ignorant of the chemicals they were using. They had no idea of the true immediate effects and the long term effects on the land and its people, its not like they did a 'test patch' on some land and people - a pretty unfair war tatic and those who are innocent.

Re: Agent Orange Effects on Children
I contraindicated myself how?? Understand this: they were spraying high levels of a chemical used to kill crops and this inadvertently caused health problems due to the levels. Again, high levels of almost anything can kill/cause disease....it could have been extreme amounts of vitamin C, for example (yes, high levels of vitamins can kill). There is no contraindication in what i said. war is war and they needed a chemical that could defoliate trees. theres no time to set out and do studies and document chemical effects, such is the woe of war. "Immediate effects" (as quoted by you) would have been useless because the chemical damage isnt obvious after a day or two, or even a few weeks. Long term effect studies would have delayed its use in war, where it was needed quickly. On top of all this, it was found that the agent causing the problems was a contaminant, so technically the compound in its "pure" form may have not even caused problems. |
