1. We have not used gas (chemical warfare) in any form since WW1.

2. The chemical warfare stockpile is 50+years old. and very unstable.

3. The largest stockpile of VX has been destroyed without an accident in Utah.

4. We have no use for chemical agent munitions, nor do we anticipate ever having any use for them.

Correction. We have not used deadly chemical agents since WWI; however, that statement is open to debate. Anybody remember Agent Orange? CS and hydrolytic blister agents (skin and inhalation irritants) are still part of our stockpile and can be used when conditions indicate.

Check out what happened in Italy when the Germans bombed the ship with the mustard gas on it some time.
