Agent Orange Footnote.
There was a lot of controversy about the toxic effects of Agent Orange poisoning (the dioxin based herbicide used by our side to remove covering vegetation from enemy controlled forested areas in Vietnam). Nothing came from this until Elmo Zumwalt's son, an infantry officer in the war, came down with dioxin poisoning. Suddenly, it became a PROBLEM.
Admiral Zumwalt was Chief of Naval Operations when I was in the Navy, and he was the first Captain of my ship, USS Dewey, when she was launched, before I came aboard. Zumwalt first ordered the use of Agent Orange as a defoliant in the Vietnam War. Small world, eh?
