I thought it read: Vietnam vets opposed to agent orange"
thinking "agent orange" was a reference to the pumpkin-headed POTUS. LOL

Agent Orange is a good moniker, though. . .
He is orange.
And he is an agent (of Russia and Putin)
And vets should oppose him for his constant demeaning remarks to the
military leadership and shameless false bravado.
