Because we don't have a history of using them on our neighbors, using them on our own population, and destabilizing the region of our world.

Agent Orange (http://vivisimo.com/search?query=%22agent+orange%22&v%3Asources=Web&x=0&y=0), I rest my case..

How? Agent Orange is a herbicide
-
Because we don't have a history of using them on our neighbors, using them on our own population, and destabilizing the region of our world.
where the only nation that has used nucular weapons in a war, in Vietnam we did use Agent Orange, and my Uncle now has lung cancer from it, he gets no Vet's benefits, and the government is not taken care of it either. Though after years of saving, he reall doesn't care because he can take care of it himself, what about other vets. Also, my cousin who was in the first Gulf War, she cannot have babies because the weapons we used in the Gulf War had some chemical that was very dangerous to our own solders, let alone the Iraqis. It's a long post if you want me to post details.

Is that a question?
I guess I'm just too "dump" to understand what you're trying to say.

while the use of those weapons are still wrong, they were tested for military purposes....Iraq used their WMD's on hundreds of thousands of innocent people knowing fully beforehand what effect it would have on the people. the only weapon we used like that was the Nuclear bombs and that was to end a war
-
In 1988 Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against the Kurdish village of Halabja; thousands of men, women and children are killed.
15 years later we attack ;D grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat
We are really making a difference.

More people ashamed of the glory and beauty America stands for. As much as yall hate it, WE ARE THE SHIT. We always will be the shit, and we always HAVE been the shit. Since our inception, we've been what EVERYBODY'S talking about, and where EVERYBODY wants to live. It's like people with curly hair want straight hair, and people with straight hair want curly hair. Nobody's happy where they are; that's why you see this discontent in America among the youth, whom are generally misguided and 'lost' like youth have always been.
I'm proud to be an American, and I wouldn't live anywhere else. Fuck yall and your attacks, we're still the shit no matter what you say, and no matter what you think.

Your European bitch...you just lost your accent :D

fuck you guys.
last time i checked agent orange wasnt a nuclear weapon or a nerve agent. You said your uncle or something got lung cancer from the orange in vietnam.
If you were to be hit with a drop vx your nerves would shut down and youd die instantly. HOW ARE THEY THE SAME?
We have thousands of nukes....but do you see us using em? back during the cold war we had to build silos to stand up to the russians otherwise they would have nuked us. They are for defensive purposes.
if they were for offense we would have nuked the whole middle east by now.

"Agent Orange was a 50-50 mix of two chemicals, known conventionally as 2,4,D and 2,4,5,T. The combined product was mixed with kerosene or diesel fuel and dispersed by aircraft, vehicle, and hand spraying.
The earliest health concerns about Agent Orange were about the product's contamination with TCDD, or dioxin. TCDD is one of a family of dioxins, some found in nature, and are cousins of the dibenzofurans and pcb's.
The TCDD found in Agent Orange is thought to be harmful to man. In laboratory tests on animals, TCDD has caused a wide variety of diseases, many of them fatal. TCDD is not found in nature, but rather is a man-made and always unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process. The Agent Orange used in Vietnam was later found to be extremely contaminated with TCDD."

Agent Orange -> Vietnam
Nuclear Weapons after war - Hiroshima, Nagasaki
the argument that youre "better" and "civilized" and you therefore wont use such weapons unless youre attacked or something, does not work, face it.
Like Trauma indirectly said, yall american Patriots can not win this argument.

And???
IT'S A HERBICIDE.
DDT fucked people up too and every country on the earth used that.

Nuclear Weapons after war - Hiroshima, Nagasaki
So the war was over when we dropped the bombs?
I thought you said Germany had good public schools...

sorta ya - of course not officially. but, it was damn clear you gonna win the war. you didnt drop the bombs because you had to, you just did it for inhuman animalistic experimental reasons.
of course there wasnt no peace declared and shit, I thought that was clear. Well prolly it was but you just act desperately.

^^^ truthfully, i think the 1st was needed, the 2nd was unessasary

no thats pure bullshit. These japanese fuckers attacked pearl harbor, which basically nowadays would be considered terrorism. The difference is we dont have the balls anymore to drop nukes on countries that do this to us.
The war was far from over. sure those nazis had fallen, but the japenese were nothing to laugh at. They might have not been the best trained soliders, but they knew the terrain in japan. they knew the jungles (just like vietnam, the vietkong knew the jungle terrain too good)
in conclusion. i would rather kill 150,000 japanese in a nuclear bomb drop then let hundreds of thousands, if not millions of american soliders.

Your proving me right Traumy... and it feels really bad. I mean this is exactly what I'm talking about. You add nothing to the thread, except to curse and make insults. You don't add anything, hell I can add some shit for you, but instead you are just coming here and you don't have an argument, so you talk shit to try and gain control of the situation. Honestly, that's the sign of someone who feels they have no control of their life. Take control homie, take control.

IT'S A HERBICIDE.
No.
Herbicide = Chemical substance
Agent Orange was different unknown chemical substances mixed with diesel, kerosene, TCDD or dioxin and other chemicals, making it a CHEMICAL WEAPON.
Not only that, they DID NOT KNOW the effect of it.. if you use that as a excuse.. then I guess you gotta ask one of the victims who still suffer from it today, wether it's a U.S. military vet or a Vietnam citizen and see what they think about it..

so you're saying that japanese bombed us because they had to? you've watched pearl harbor too many times....i was stationed on Guam for a year and i talked to this old man who told me the tail of how the japanese defeated the americans then enslaved the chamorro's to help build up japanese defenses on those islands...the japanese had a decent chance of winning the war

Oh shit! Call the UN!!! I just used dropped a ROUNDUP bomb on some weeds in my yard!!! I was gonna use some Ortho, but I thought that'd be a little harsh.

Why don't you ask one of the victims if they found it as harmless as that.. ?
The Department of Veterans Affairs announced in 2003 that the link to chronic lymphocytic leukemia to Agent Orange exposed Vietnam veterans is so strong that benefits would automatically be given to any new diagnoses of it. There are as many as 1,000 new patients for chronic lymphocytic leukemia alone expected amongst Vietnam veterans. Since many of the diseases associated to Agent Orange exposure can take 20-30 years to develop, thousands of Vietnam veterans may have been excluded from the Agent Orange settlement in 1985.
In 1993, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report linking Agent Orange to multiple myeloma and other conditions. As more Agent Orange studies were performed more illnesses were linked to the herbicide. The VA has listed prostate cancer, respiratory cancers, multiple myeloma, type II diabetes, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, soft tissue sarcoma, chloracne, porphyria cutanea tarda, peripheral neuropathy, and spinal bifidia in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange as side effects of the herbicide.
Yup, totally harmless.. (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aktion/action-smiley-065.gif)
You don't even wanna see the pictures of Vietnamese people suffering from it even today.. they suffer from all kinds of deformations and diseases.
Couldn't find those pictures neither, but I saw a documentary called "Agent Orange and it's Afthermath" or something like that.. shit was prettttty damn bad!
Can easily be compared to Saddams gassing, except that Saddam got all the blame, and U.S. hushed Agent Orange down (to no success).

Questions:
Did the US know that Agent Orange would do what it did to people?
Did the US drop Agent Orange as a Chemical Weapon, or a herbicide?
Did the US use Agent Orange as a Herbicide inside its borders?
Does DDT cause the same type of birth defects?
Is DDT used across the world?
How many US Veterans of Vietnam have Agent Orange side effects?
Did it make sense for the US to poison its own soldiers if it knew what Agent Orange did?
Jome, there is NOOOOOOOO comparison to Saddam using KNOWN chemical weapons on his own people to the United States using an herbicide with unknown effects.
Sorry, but you're wrong.

i know 4 vietnam veterans. they were marines back during the height of the war. they were deep in enemy territory in the jungles. They werent in the same group(whatever you call those things) so they were never near each other.
funny story. there each around 55 years old, and no signs of this chemical herbicide killing them anytime soon.
i think there were around 20,000 claims by vets that they were affected by this "chemical weapon of mass destruction" These 20,000 werent all "lung cancer" alot of them was just minor stuff, they just wanted compensation.
20,000 is alot, but not really that much compared to everyone that fought in the war. i mean 58,000 died. 3,000,000 people served in vietnam. Now honestly. 20,000 isnt that many compared to how many served. and remember those 20,000 werent all horrible side affects. most were just minor things.
-
but to the american haters 20,000 people with cancer that are recieving benefits is a far greater crime than the hundreds of thousands that are dead, buried in mass graves
-
Questions:
Did the US know that Agent Orange would do what it did to people?
Did the US drop Agent Orange as a Chemical Weapon, or a herbicide?
Here's another question:
Was it right to use the Vietnamese citizens and their own unknowing soldiers as test-animals when they didn't quite know the side-effects.. ?
Let's just say that the purpose was NOT to help out with the unwanted plants.
This issue isn't about 20.000 war vets making ridiculous claims to gain some American lawsuit money they don't deserve, it's about the people that suffered, died, and those who still suffer from it today.
I suggest watching a documentary about Agent Orange, but I bet that falls into the Michael Moore-category: unwanted "propaganda" questioning the U.S. and other hushworthy topics.

that issues was 30 plus years ago, the government has since payed theit debt the best a government will pay it
now flash forward to the mid 90's - 2004 where they still found mass graves of people buried in iraq
your question is in the title of this thread and the best you can do is name weapons that haven't been used in over 30 years...we already know where our weapons are at so why would we search for them genius? hell even a moron like you found them...
-
what about both gulf wars britian and america putting uranian in those bombs, giving our troops gulf war syndrome. not sure of the effect on the ground tho.
and when an enemy force drops a chemical over country i'm SURE they know its BAD they're not exactly gonna do it to encourage plant growth are they!

my grandpa got diabetes from agent orange. He now has no feeling in his feet and is going blind. The govt. payed him like 20k tho or sum shit.

it's better than the iraqi's that got gassed, they got a free burial site near all their neighbors
-
it's better than the iraqi's that got gassed, they got a free burial site near all their neighbors
since everyone here thinks that america is worse then iraq in what we do....we should start showing it.
every us military personel who has died from agent orange or any other chemical during warefare, we should put them in a special place.
i say we dig a humungous hole in the ground, maybe in washington dc, and throw all the carcuses of these men in the hole.
-
you're right, we abuse our WMD's too much....maybe we should send all jewish people to get free "showers" like the germans did, or gas and bury all the people that talk about bush like iraq did....
-
LMAO
"We're not as bad as Saddam and Hitler etc. etc. blah blah"
That's a very good excuse.. ;)
Why didn't Bush think of this in one of his speechs.. sure would have stopped the terror attacks right..

there you show where youre really at.

now if not doing such things is something you can really brag about ...

... same here ^

That's a very good excuse.. ;)
ya once they come up with stuff like that, things get obvious.. for instance their awareness of being jackasses ;)
In Court:
judge: youre accused of double murder.. what are you saying to defend yourself?
accused murderer: well, at least Im not as bad as the guy who raped, killed and ate 23 women!
now question: will he ^ be acquitted of the murder? hell naaaww.
case closed, plain guilty.

Thats the reason why alot of people dont like america, its arrogance like that & claiming you're "the best damn country in the world" that rubs people the wrong way, & no i'm not just talking about Muslim countries
I live in Australia, I guess our country is like America, just less crime rate, less assholes (many tourists from America say how nice our people are to others), & less arrogance.
Theres a difference between loving the country in which you live, & being up yourself. Some how you think your country is better than others, i think thats arrogant, esspecially since you (& I am assuming here) havent lived in all the other countries in the world to comment, but its also disrespectfull to the rest of the world its like a "We (USA) only matter in this world, the rest of you are below us" mentality
I love America & Americans just like i love everyone else no matter were u come from, but i hate people like you who have the nerve to disrespect the rest of the world like that, its just very overbearing.
If you lived in Australia you'd see how great this country can be, how nice live is here compared to other countries that arent as fortunate as us, so yeah not everyone wants to live in America, & you're terribly ignorant if you truely believe that, hell most people i talk to here dont want to live in America & are just happy were they are, or if they do move overseas they prefer the asian countries or the UK than the USA
I'm wont even say Australia is better than any other country, we all have our good points & bad points, USA has many badpoints, i'm sure Australia has some too
