Reply #27: I don't think Agent Orange is quite the same thing [View All]

Although you make a good point, I don't think this is quite the same thing because it wasn't used as a weapon. It also reinforces my point that these things are hard to control - just look at all the problems that have sprung from the use of Agent Orange that weren't predicted back then.

Let me make this clear - chemical warfare has been used since WWI, it is just not a common battlefield tool because it is unpredictable. That doesn't mean that it hasn't been used in certain situations.
