It has been more than 20 years since the Vietnam War ended. At that time, the U.S. military, troubled by the elusive resistance of the liberation forces, launched Operation Defoliation to turn the tropical rainforest into a desert. The dioxins in the defoliants were carcinogenic and teratogenic. The tragedy did not stop with Vietnam, but also affected American and Korean soldiers.
