Bullshit, Tim. Even if you (dubiously) claim that no one knew for certain the effects of Agent Orange on humans, it's purpose was to literally destroy the countryside. It was meant to not only defoliate the forest but to destroy the food crops and force an urbanization of the population, concentrating them and making it easy for our forces to fight against the perceived enemy. Starving the countryside is a munition, period, even if you don't think it is going to destroy the humans directly.
And, really, herbicides and defoliants mixed with jet fuel? Who could possibly think that might be toxic to humans, right? For fucks sake dude. It was a cruel act of war on par with mustard gas.
