B. In Vietnam, American soldiers destroyed huge jungle areas so the Viet Cong could not hide there. The Viet Cong were the ones using guerilla warfare tactics. Under the program codenamed "Operation Ranch Hand," US military forces sprayed millions of gallons of herbicides (chemicals to destroy vegetation), not only in Vietnam but also in Laos and Cambodia as the conflict spread there. The most common chemical used was called Agent Orange, which was later determined to be responsible for causing cancer, birth defects, and other health problems in human populations exposed to it. Not only did people in the Southeast Asian nations suffer the side-effects of Agent Orange use, but US military personnel were affected by it too.
