Message-ID: <1990Sep29.155131.7378@cbnews.att.com> Date: 29 Sep 90 15:51:31 GMT References: <1990Sep28.014351.13736@cbnews.att.com> Sender: military-request@att.att.com Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 24 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Allan Bourdius I find it highly unlikely that the US or any other allied nation would employ chemical weaponry. Chemical weapons would be extremely tricky to use in a desert area because of the climate (lots of shifting winds). We wouldn't want to have our own weapons blow back on ourselves. --Allan ----------------------------------------------------------------- MIDN 3/C (PLCJR) Allan Bourdius Carnegie Mellon University NROTC "Retreat hell!
