Abstract

The article discusses a U.S. Army report which disclosed that the U.S. stockpiled 25,000 barrels of Agent Orange on Okinawa during the Vietnam War. The report was published in 2003, which revealed photographs apparently showing barrels in storage on Camp Kinser. The use of Agent Orange was banned by the U.S. government in the early 1970s due to its serious effect on human health.
