  1. Monsanto made agent orange, therefore Vietnam should deny themselves access to modern agriculture. Nice non sequitur.

      I was thinking that the Vietnamese government should invite all the top Monsanto honchos over for a meeting. At the "meeting", all these corporate types should be arrested and indefinitely detained for terrorism and crimes against humanity.

    I would share this article with people but there are grammatical errors.

    1. Yes, very true, this article needed to be spell-checked.

      This is a very important article nonetheless……..

      I still believe that Monsanto is run by reptilians, thus explaining the reasons for pushing GMO's and willingly destroying human life.

      trivial. the message is more than explanatory, if your friend are astute & inquisitive, they'll explore the concept, & not throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. Also, it's not like you wrote it yourself, perfectionist.

  3. 2 4 D has been used by farmers since the 60 for weed control in grain I never new that it was agent orange that I worked with off and on for years,WOW,some good information,I get from here.

  4. I don't normally like to defend Monsanto, but so what!? American companies that used to make tanks and fighter planes during WW2 provided the world with automobiles and commercial airliners!

    Monsanto made agent orange, now they make superweeds which are resistent to their roundup week killer. I don't particularly like their business practice of making kill seeds nor their legal practices against farmers who choose not to use GMO but natural wind dispersion and bird droppings get on their farmland and Monsanto sues. Monsanto is satans bread basket.

    We should keep in mind that the damages from Agent orange were largely due to Dioxin contamination fro rushed production, which the army encouraged.

  6. I am in Vietnam right now, and have read a short article in a Saigon based newspaper that confirms the VN governement is actually planning to buy genetically modified seeds from an American company very soon. The deal seems done. They're starting out with corn destined for cattle feed. Makes me sick.

  7. I think that we have to remember, even though Monsanto and Dow created Agent Orange, it was the United States government that chose to purchase it and use it on the forest areas of Vietnam! So, I understand why the two corporations insist that it is an issue that needs to be addressed by the two countries, and not them! We have to understand that while we live in America as U.S. Citizens, we still have the responsibility to keep a watchful "eye" on the people whom we elect to make decisions in Congress on our behalf. And when they make "stupid" decisions and vote for tings that harm people, nature and the planet, we need to IMMEDIATELY GET RID OF THEM!

    Before they go ahead with it, mandatory GMO labeling has to be enforced, then I am okay with it. Let the people decide.

    What a lack of logic in this article… Monsanto was one of a number of companies that the US Government contracted to make Agent Orange. Monsanto didn't go over and bomb people with AO, the military did that. AO was a defoliant. Should we "round up" all companies that make defoliants, like round up, or weed killers and try them for war crimes too?

    So, since they made a defoliant, they shouldn't be allowed to feed people now either? Wow the internet is full of cranks and whack jobs.

  10. Julie Trump says:

    The logic is there if you know how to read between the lines, understand nuance. That is, during the Vietnam War, Monsanto was the manufacturer of a lethal chemical that laid waste countryside and people alike. These days, Monstanto is the manufacturer of self-destructing seeds that contain dubious nutrition — and, fast forward — can, therefore, cause health issues. The point is that the company, Monsanto, continues its less-than-wholesome machinations, "invading" the fields of countries at home and abroad…ironically enough, the scene of its previously most high-profile dirty work, Vietnam.

  11. Spray that crap on themselves if it is so Patriotic. Too many of us Viet Vets are suffering because of their Patriotic poison.
