    So would chemical warfare include various defoliants designed to reduce vegetation, but not directly targeting the enemy?

    Yes.

    The govt. denies that Agent Orange was ever on Guam or that the Navy dumped it at sea among other things.

    Many veterans have came forth with signed statements to Congress to dispute the Govts. inaction and the VA refusing claims as they have no proof where or when Agent Orange, White, or Blue have been used, deployed, or dumped.
