Ah, here's the part of the article you are referring to: > Now, I want to leave aside, for the purpose of this essay, the use of lethal chemical agents in genocide, the use of non-lethal chemical agents entirely, as well as the use of things like defoliants that were not intended to cause casualties (even if they did). Those things are all important, but if we get into talking about them, we will never get anywhere. I read up to that part, where he asserted that chemical weapons don't work well militarily (which I understand). But afterwards he appeared to explain this in great detail, and I tailed off, switched to skimming (seemed to already make sense to me, and it was a long article). I did miss the part above, where he left police use out of scope for his article. But isn't it worth a thread or two here? Maybe from a couple different angles, now that I think more about it - effectiveness, harm, correlation with other things, alternatives, are there countries that don't do this, etc. I didn't see anything yet when I posted my comment above. Maybe too off topic? EDIT: fixed grammar typos |
