Please. There is much documentation available on how and why Agent
Orange was used. It was chemical warfare. And my reference to landmines

By golly, you're right. Agent Orange, although not used to kill people, was used to kill crops
forcing farmers to move to urban areas and not support the NVA or Viet Cong. I would agree that
constitutes a form of 'chemical warfare'.

If we ever have to clear a minefield in Somalia, or elsewhere, I'd rather we clear our mines than
Russian or Chinese. Wouldn't you?
