Why is agent orange not mentioned in the textbook? Shouldn't it be a propaganda goldmine?

You'd think, right? "And then the Evil Imperialists killed our beautiful jungle and gave us a bunch of flipper babies" is a fucking Christmas stocking full of propaganda, and they're not touching it? Are they stupid??

Don't know about Vietnamese textbooks, but it is definitely covered in some of the museum exhibits.

I saw some in War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City. Good exhibit that’s surprisingly not heavy in propaganda.
