Thank you for service in that regard.
I have to admit (off topic slightly but who cares at this point LOL) I’m not sure I see a difference between Chemical Agent Weapons or Nuclear Weapons except for the fact that 3rd World Countries can easily obtain, make and use Chems.
Perhaps that’s why the Treaty. But then again, Treaties are often broken.
Must have been an interesting job for sure.
Wow. Looks like I missed a good one.
Had to catch up on my magazine subscriptions and clear the coffee table of them before over 32 years of marriage is pissed away.
Took a nap and boom it was happening……..
Ok, so fill me in guys. I’m here now. It’s raining here in Northern Michigan.
Just woke up from a nap and guzzled down coffee, imma ready!

Chemical and biological weapons are grossly over-rated. It takes a huge amount of chemical munitions to cover an area. The biggest problem is that they are not usually effective against troops with proper protective gear and trained in it’s use. The reason they were outlawed of a lack of effectiveness.
Biological weapons have other issues. First, it may take considerable time for them to become effective. Second, they can be nullified with the proper vaccines. Third, there is the issue of ‘blow-back’ where the disease affects your forces too.
This is standard stuff they teach in the Chem/Bio/Radiological classes given to unit level personnel.
I actually found some of the work interesting but I’m not a ‘bugs and gas’ kind of guy. I only worked at Dugway for about a year, until I could arrange a transfer back into the rockets and missile business.
My handle is in remembrance of one of the best dogs I’ve ever owned. I obtained a Great Dane while at Dugway and I registered him as Duke Maximillian of Dugway.
And, once again, no, I had nothing to do with Bio while at Dugway. In fact, the bio lab was closed down for safety reasons while I was there. Some here, however, are trying to discredit my posts by claiming I’m a member of some kind of bio cabal.
