I can understand taking his word for it, but I don't personally believe that. How could someone in 1979 not have heard of Agent Orange? It would have been all over the news: https://www.nytimes.com/1978/12/19/archives/vietnam-veterans... and the Vietnam war was still fresh in everyone's mind. Maybe he was embarrassed by the edgy name, which is basically a reference to an American war crime, in later years? idk.

He didn't say he hadn't hear of it. He said he didn't choose it for political reasons. I am very familiar with history and the Vietnam War.
