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.
arrrrrrrg! Understand this: I am done arguing with you, you did contradict yourself, you are talking to me like I am stupid and I am not. We are on two different wave lengths and will never agree. Lets leave it at that shall we?
