What part of the definition of a weapon do you not understand? A weapon, by definition, is any device used to injure, defeat, or destroy living beings, structures, or systems, and Agent Orange did not qualify under that definition.
You did get it half right. Agent Orange was a powerful mixture of chemical defoliants used by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War to eliminate forest cover for North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops, as well as crops that might be used to feed them.
I guess this is why the US has continued to use this chemical in warfare then. Oh, wait, it stopped in 1970 or 1971. Why is that?
Oh, perhaps it was because it was killing people, destroying their land so they couldn't actually eat food, your definition includes "structures", as if the land isn't worthy of being something similar.
It's like making a definition so you can do bad things by not including something.
