150,000 Vietnamese children were born with severe birth defects because of the United States of America.

On this day in 1961, the U.S. started spraying Agent Orange. For 10 years, they dumped 19 million gallons of chemicals over South Vietnam, destroying 20% of its jungles and hitting Laos and Cambodia too.

The U.S. claimed it was to cut off the Vietcong's food and cover. But really, it was to punish the Vietnamese people.

In total, 4.8 million people were exposed. 400,000 died from cancer. 3 million more had lasting health problems.

Let's remember and reflect these crimes which no one will label as terrorism.
