Well actually depending on the wind conditions at the time your neighbor just might be in your weed killer dispersal zone too.
The point is however that like your weed killer, Agent Orange was deployed to destroy plants, not to injure or kill people. Of course it did turn out to be quite deadly but not immediately enough to be remotely useful as a weapon.
For example it took AO 31 years to kill my father with liver cancer after his exposure to it in 1967 but it didn't stop him from carrying out his military duties or completing his tour over there. It that makes it a weapon it is a damned inefficient one.
