I was company E-1 back when all of the firsties in First Regiment were still flaming runts! I worry more about bio because a misplaced gene can turn a minor disease into the Andromeda Strain. Recently, a researcher in Australia changed ONE GENE on mousepox in an experiment to create a less-than-lethal bio control for mouse populations. The modified mousepox killed every mouse in the lab. If it had gotten loose, they said it might have killed every mouse on earth. Ponder this: horses evolved in South America and were common in North America during the Ice Age. Where did they go? Pathogens can totally wipe a species from the Earth. They are a little recognized evolutionary end for many species. One nuke means one downtown lost. Bio can be much worse. All that said, you're a better student of Clausewitz than I am.
I wonder if we could come up with something that would just target liberals?
There was a reason the Chemical Branch always scared me .....
