When I was in South Korea we were told at one point to expect 75% casualties because of these types of weapons.

No doubt. Todays chemical are not the kind used in the First World War. My late grandfather served in the Untied States First Gas and Flame regiment in WW1. He was wounded three types by gas and had a portion of one lung removed. Only one wound resulted from German gas, the other two were from his own units stuff that blew back on them.

Yep - they told us there were only weapons enough for about 20% of the base because after a first strike that's all that would be left.
