Well, then maybe somebody should have done a little more testing before they
decided to dump it all over the country. The FDA was well-established at
that point, so it would not be an entirely foreign concept. One could accuse
whoever originally okayed the use of Agent Orange without taking the proper
precautions.
Yes, it might slow down the implementation of new weapons in the future, but
if this sort of tragedy could be avoided, would that be so bad?
(I think I am getting out of my league at this point.)
