Agent Orange in Thailand ? |
- Was Agent Orange used at the small communication sites? Did assigned personnel receive exposure?
- Should you worry about the chemical legacy ?

Naw!!!! Our Government wouldn't lie to us!
Above Photo: " This was the 7th
RRFS. We were an electronics intelligence gathering post. We
were about 10 miles south of Udorn. I saw herbicide being sprayed on
a consistent basis around the antenna field and around the perimeter of
the post. I would think only AO would have the clout to kill that
kind of foliage. "
Webmasters Comment: We called the tall post in the circular pattern "Elephant Cages". One was at Clark Air Base, RP and another at Kadena AB, Japan. However, those were surrounded by tall grass. I wonder why the Thailand Elephant Cage look so naked? As one Thailand veteran told me, "This says that something a tad stronger than Ortho weed-be-gone was used!"
