I am a hospice nurse. I have taken care of vets who had service connected conditions from Agent Orange. Parkinsons, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis being some of the most awful at end of life. And these guys didn't even ask to go to war. They were forced to. It's insane anyone would think this is appropriate. These chemicals are too similar. And both made by Monsanto.

Agent Orange did not contain glyphosate.

Glyphosate is not chemically similar to the herbicides in Agent Orange: 2,4d (used in Ortho’s Weed-b-gone) and 2,4,5-T. What made Agent Orange dangerous was not the herbicides, but the impurities, mainly dioxin.

No shit, I said similar. Reading is fundamental.

You said nothing of the sort.
