1. Point of view
Point- A war veteran of the Vietnam war who has personal experience in handling agent orange.
Evidence - "Toll on the innocent and unborn.", “Reflective about all the illness, birth defects and prematurely dead.”,
Elaboration – The writer feels that the war not only takes its toll on the soldiers who took part in the war but also the unborn child of those soldiers. These children, although had no part in the war, but still have to suffer the consequences. This expresses how the writer empathizes with such innocent beings, as they have to pay the price for their forefathers mistake- to join the war, when they themselves had not done anything wrong.

2. Situation and Setting
Point - The nature of this conflict is a combination of ethics and social characteristics.
Evidence - "Generations untold WILL pay", "Execrable effects of the Orange Spray"
Elaboration - The evidences shows the horrific effects of the Orange Spray which will be passed on to the next generation of Vietnamese people, affecting the lives of of the children about to be born. Thus, low ethic level of the Americans can be seen as they did not seem to care about the next generation. The social characteristics is that the conflict involving the herbicides will leave a mark, permanently scar society forever.

3.Language/Diction
Point-The author wanted to show and reveal the truth behind the America's herbicidal weapon in the Vietnam War through his language. The diction shows the speaker's sarcastic attitude towards the Americans.
Evidence- "America did not foresee", "Now thinking twice?"
Elaboration: Despite America not being able to foresee the pain and agony that herbicides will caused towards the people, they did not reconsider as seen from the question mark in the evidence, which implies that even after they realised the horrific effects of the Orange Spray, they did not take any actions and still continue with the original measure, and this signifies their little sense of guilt.

4)Personal response- War is cruel and inhumane. In a war, no one benefits. The Rainbow Herbicides were originally used by the Americans against Vietnamese crops. However, it also had an undesirable side effect. Many Americans came in contact with the Herbicides and as a result they had incurable health problems. The children of these Americans were born with many health defects. Despite being innocent, they will have to suffer for the rest of their lives, for reasons they can’t comprehend.
