It was the Vietnam War.  Millions of gallons were used.  A whole lot.  Look it up on Wikipedia or do a google search.

Probably alot, but neither side used them in World War 2.  Germans used most of their gas on the Jews.  Needless to say, the Nazis got creative.

634. More than in any other conflict.\n\nSee here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Cross

Tear gas is actually the common term for a family of chemical compounds that have been otherwise referred to as "harassing agents" because of their ability to cause temporary disablement. Some 15 chemicals have been used worldwide as tear gas agents. Four of these--w-chloroacetophenone (CN), o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS), 10-chloro-5, 10-dihydrophenarsazine, and x-bromo-x-tolunitrile-have been used extensively (1). In the United States, Britain, and Europe, CN and CS have been employed most widely. O-Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, in particualr, is a weapon that has gained widespread acceptance as a means of controlling civilian populations during disturbances.\n\nAs far as I know, the Indian Police buy much of its supplies from either the USA or the UK.

Cute_Blondie seems to have a pretty thorough answer there.  My question is do you mean the Vietnam War that the US fought in or is there another war called the Vietnamese War?

Hi, I spray Agents Orange, White, and Blue in Nam. And yeah, it wasn't really known how bad the sh!t was. It was the contaminants in the Orange (PCB) that we were still removing from transformers on electrical poles all the way into the 1990s. \n\nNow about napalm and white phosphorus...that really was rude. And we knew it. We made up rhymes, stupid poems, to deal with the horror of dropping it on women and children: "Napalm Sticks to Kids." \n\nWe also used CS, tons of that tear "gas". I pushed 30 gal drums out of the back of Chinook helicopters, 30 drums per sortee. We turned the jungle white with that.\n\nAll of that was chemical weapons. My  MOS (military occupational specialty) was 54E - chem. staff specialist. There was all sorts of military double think about it not being lethal. That was BS when it came to napalm. Agent Orange like I said we did not know until later. People were using Roundup, an herbacide, that was d@mned near the same as Orange, all over the US. \n\nWe were frustrated by an "insurgent" action. It was like Iraq. We could not get the locals to play set-piece battles. They hit and hid. We thought we could use science to make it harder. The science turned against us. And yes, there were some who wanted to use nuclear weapons then, too. \n\nDow Chemical and the other big companies made money off the war. 50,000 Americans died. Over half of us died while trying to turn over the reins of government to the locals. Sound familiar?\n\nOver 150,000 Nam vets have since taken their lives with single car accidents, overdoses, and cleaning gun accidents. But I am sure Iraqi/Afghani war vets will get taken care of better. Aren't you? </sarcasm mode off>\n\nI am sick of war. Excuse me.\n\n-- Vietnam Class of 70-71 1st Cav & Americal

Pretty twisted. "Better dead than red" was a common saying. We got 50,000 boys killed in Vietnam for no logical reason at all.

True JFK continued and expanded the US advisory role started by Eisenhower.  The LBJ went ballistic and eventually had more than 536,000 troops in Vietnam.\n\nPersonally I blame the French.  They fought a colonial war with Vietnam (at the time still a single, united country...as it is today) from 1945 to1954.  The US had given the army of Vietman $2.6 billion during their struggle for independence...sound familiar? \n\nHo Chi Minh as the leader of the Vietnamese army; as he was during the American War as the Vietnamese called the Vietnam War.\n\nIn 1954 the French were drawn into battle in a valley at Dien Bien Phu.  This was their last and most costly battle.  Some 6000 French troops died and over 10,000 French soldiers were taken prisoner.\n\nThe French....well, bailed leading to a peace conference in Geneva where Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam received their independence.  Vietnam was temporarily split into north and south.\n\nIn 1958 with the continued communist influence in Vietnam and south east Asia Esienhower sent 2000 US military advisers to the south.  By 1963 under Kennedy the advisors had reached 16,3000 and then on to LBJ.\n\nAnd why do I blame the French....if they had just held on to keep Vietnam their colony to this day then we never would have lost over 58,000 troops.\n\nOK...unrealistic and the French surrender monkeys hadn't won a war since the musket was the modern weapon of war...but I thought a brief history of how the war started might clarify my choice for Presidential blame.

I don't think that a lawsuit will be very successful by yourself, but there are multiple groups that are trying to get some kind of payment  from the government for their injuries from agent orange.\n\nYou could try to get in try to get in touch with other veterans who have the same problem and work together with them.  I'll be praying for his health.

Hard to say.  Before it was Viet Nam it was French Indo China and the Viet Namese (CONG) were called the Viet Minh after Ho Chi Minh.  Casualty estimates posted above do not include those killed in the Pre-USA invlovement may not include Americans that were there as "advisors", civilians, Cambodians, Laotians, Chinese, and Russians.  The numbers are apalling

uS involvement was form 1950-1975.  However the french were involved from 1945 and the First Indochina War went from 1946-54. the second indochina War (what americans call the vietnam war)went from 1955-1975. Escalation occured after the gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964.

The Vietcong and Insurgents both used massive guerilla warfare.\n\nI'd say way more IEDs in the iraq war.\n\nthe vietnameese beat us with technology [SAMS, ak-47, etc]\nand knowledge of the land.\n\nThe insurgents are just using household products.

2500+....3000+ killed on 9/11.....58,000 killed in Vietnam.....200,000 killed in WWII....400,000 killed in the US Civil War......40,000 killed on US Highways every year.\n\nIn perspective, it's well worth it, IMO.
