Agent Orange was a cocktail of highly toxic chemicals used to clear the jungles in Vietnam, it killed all of the plants an many of the soldiers.  It's effects are still with us today, many people in the affected areas are still afflicted with serious birth defects.  \n\nIn response to the other answer: it is nothing like "Roundup" which is a glyphosate-based weedkiller.  Glyphosate is a specific compound, only toxic to higher plants, while the chlorophenyls in Agent Orange are toxic to all life forms.

I don't think saturation nuking will work, as that they won't penetrate the underground bunkers. The USA will just have to invade and risk yet another Vietnam. The invaders will all become junkies (20% of Iranians are on hard drugs) and when they lose they will have to admit millions of Iranian Shiite refugees into the USA. It's tough, I know, but there is really no alternative. The USA must stay the course. They can't let the terrorists claim victory.

The Vietnamese flag has a red background with a five-pointed golden-yellow star in the center. The five points of the star stand for the farmers, workers, youth, intellectuals, and soldiers of Vietnam.

The Vietcong and Insurgents both used massive guerilla warfare.\n\nI'd say way more IEDs in the iraq war.\n\nthe vietnameese beat us with technology [SAMS, ak-47, etc]\nand knowledge of the land.\n\nThe insurgents are just using household products.

The USA yesterday just removed Vietnam from their religous persucution list. That's a good step ahead for Vietnam. And they released two Americans that were being charged with terrorism.\n\nIn a few years we will have full trade and diplomatic relations with Vietnam.

the U.S is the country, and people are still dieing from radiation poisoning form the two atom bombs they dropped on civillians, and also in vietnam women and children are being killed in thier thousands from unexploded munitions in the jungle and most of all from the mass amount of agent orange they used.and the other one is present day iraq. lack of medicines, power, clean water are all contributing to thousands of ppl being killed cos of thier actions.

Well I am an NCO in the AF, 36-2903 is the standard.  I checked around at the out of cycle entries, and didn't see any other entries.  You may want to look at your MAJ COM specific rules as well as the base/squadron commander.  Even if there is nothing in there I am sure if it is not a natural color, in good taste, and conservative you will be told to remove them.  So I am guessing cat eyes, dead eyes and such aren't going to fly in uniform.  Just wear them after work in civvies.

Usually in Africa...  But in Vietnam it was done when N Vietnam regimes pulled in. Did you ever hear of the killing fields?  Kids were massacring people after we pulled out of Vietnam.   Millions died.

"The use of air power in the Vietnam War would change the way wars were fought for the Twentieth century and beyond. New technological advances and more sophisticated weapons made the Vietnam War a testing ground for the U.S. military. New tactics and approaches were used and to varying degrees of success. Air power would be used as a bargaining tool and as punishment for North Vietnamese acts of aggression. Vietnam also introduced the attack helicopter as a vital weapon and it dawned a new age of tactics for the U.S. military. Starting with the training and advising of the South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF), and culminating with the Christmas bombing of 1972, the U.S. would be involved in the skies over Vietnam for over 15 years"\ndon't forget agent orange either.  I'm pretty sure that was the first time it was used as it was.

Agents Orange, White, and Blue (all herbicides) and their contaminants were used all over Vietnam. Operation Ranch Hand was how the program was refered to. \n\nI know, I sprayed the sh!t and can even tell you that Orange tasted like garlic. Touch it and soon you were tasting it.\n\nGet yourself tested by the Registry listed below. The VA has admitted some diseases are caused by Orange.\n\nHere is what the VA currently recognizes (keep plugging away if you and your doctor believe you have a good case, though):\n\nChloracne or other acneform disease consistent with chloracne. (Must occur within one year of exposure to Agent Orange). \n\nChronic Lymphocytic Leukemia \n\nDiabetes Mellitus, Type II \n\nHodgkin’s disease. \n\nMultiple myeloma. \n\nNon-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. \n\nAcute and subacute peripheral neuropathy. (For purposes of this section, the term acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy means temporary peripheral neuropathy that appears within weeks or months of exposure to an herbicide agent and resolves within two years of the date of onset.) \n\nPorphyria cutanea tarda. (Must occur within one year of exposure to Agent Orange). \n\nProstate cancer. \n\nRespiratory cancers (cancer of the lung, bronchus, larynx, or trachea). \n\nSoft-tissue sarcoma (other than osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, or mesothelioma). \n\nBest of luck, my brother. It took them 30 years to recognize that my bad knee due to torture was service connected. If they reject your claim keep working on it.
