2 - is a little pedantic, they used agent orange to kill foliage to kill people...
They didn't gas people with chlorine or mustard, but they mass destroyed crops and foliage, to kill people.
And "affected US troops as much as Vietnamese" is just completely incorrect, US covered a nation in herbicide, went home, got cancer. Is completely different then having your soil destroyed for decades.

Is a wheel a weapon because a tank uses it? I wouldn't consider the difference pedantry.
tanks have very much run over people to kill them. a wheel can very much be used as a weapon.
It does look like the general consensus is agent orange is not a chemical weapon, or at least was not used as one.
