Didn’t the Adm. lose his son to the effects of agent orange or am I thinking of someone else?

Chesty Puller’s son was a multiple amputee who eventually committed suicide.

Elmo R. Zumwalt 3d, son of the admiral who ordered the
spraying of Agent Orange in Vietnam, and who was exposed to the defoliant himself,
died of cancer today at his home. He was 42 years old.

Yes. And the Admiral had his concerns about the chemicals though he was instructed that it was of no concern by the manufacturer. He considered the short term benefits to save American lives more significant than any long term risk.
