I need a brush killer/herbicide

I see you have heard of Agent Orange and you want something similar to that in effectiveness. Agent Orange of course is quite carcinogenic, and you will see TV commercials saying "were you in Vietnam and exposed to Agent Orange? Call now because you're entitled to compensation!"

So you really don't want Agent Orange. But you know what those commercials don't say? They don't say "were you exposed to Agent Purple? Call now." They also don't mention Agents Blue, Green, White and Pink. All were herbicides used during Nam. So why did Agent Orange become the only one with the lawsuits and the compensation?

Because all the other agents are totally safe.

I personally recommend Agent Purple, if you can still get it, but Green and Pink are also known to greatly upset those peoples that are indigenous to the A Shau Valley.

By far the most widely used herbicide was Agent Orange, followed by Agent White; other tactical herbicides that were used in Vietnam during the war include Agent Blue, Agent Purple, Agent Pink, and Agent Green. The names of the herbicides were derived from the color-coded bands around the 55-gal (208-L) drums used to ship and store them.

ETA: I ain't kiddding. They don't call it Agent Purple anymore, but...

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)—a second active ingredient of Agent Orange, Agent White, and Agent Purple—was and continues to be a widely used herbicide around the world. Its human health and environmental risks were assessed by the EPA in 2005 to support its reregistration. It is permitted for agricultural and residential herbicide use (EPA, 2005). 2,4-D can be found in lawn herbicide mixtures such as "Weed B Gon MAX", "PAR III", "Trillion", "Tri-Kil", "Killex" and "Weedaway Premium 3-Way XP Turf Herbicide"

Hey, Tordon is purple or at least the stuff I get on Amazon. I learned of the stuff while staking out centerlines for transmission lines for clearing and setting clearing limits. KCPL's felling crew would come in behind me with power saws leaving the stumps sticking up about 2 feet high. They would pour an X across the top with this thick purple gelly looking stuff. So I asked what it was (tordon) he said it would eventually kill the root system and the stump would decay in a few years.

Nowadays they just use attachments to a Catapiller track how that saws the tree down and another grinds the stump down flush to the ground .
