> what counter was invented for chemical warfare > gas masks and cbrn suits. you're entirely missing the point and i think you know that. we don't gas people the way we did in wwi because we signed treaties saying that we don't want to have wars that are that fucked up any more. we haven't deployed nuclear weapons since wwii and haven't deployed biological weapons because we don't want to live in the hell they'd unleash. at some point simply being able to do some horrible thing to your enemy shouldn't be enough to justify it if you have any sense of humanity. some lines you don't want to cross.
