I didn't know agent Orange was a Communist, are you retarded? have a pint of agent Orange on me.Wrong.
We did not wipe out the jungle with chemical agents and people suffer there due to poverty and communism, which is redundant.
The reason we dropped on empty jungles was that Johnson was micromanaging the war from the white house.
Typically our intelligence would spot a potential enemy target which was mobile such as an encampment or cluster of parked vehicles. Before attacking with aircraft permission had to be requested all the way up the chain to Johnson. He would then consult with friends and business execs and eventually send permission back down. By the time the aircraft got the order to attack the target, it was gone. So the bombs landed on a whole lot of nothing.
The chenical agents you are referring to were defoliants which only temporarily wilted leaves. They did not kill people.
