How Would The U.S. Respond To A Chemical Weapon Attack On U.S. Troops?

Depends who by and what context.

For it to happen the USA troops, would be getting up to no good at some nations border. Say it was Russian or chinese or did the fatal deed. Would a nuclear stand off be the correct responce? or a swift apology.

 

As I said before, nothing. Just like the response in 1991 when they were used on them.

It has been known for decades that most of the cases of "Gulf War Syndrome" were caused by Iraqi chemical weapons (mostly sarin). But this was ignored at the time because of what the mandated response would have been. And I expect if it happens again, it will have the same response.

 

You have to understand the cncept of reciprical response. This has been a long-standn policy of the United States, going all the way back to before World War II. Use a "Weapons of Mass Destruction" against us, and we will respond with the same kind of weapon. Originally, this was only applicable to chemical weapons, but later was expanded to all such weapons.

Now in the 1970's, we dismantled and destroyed our chemical weapons programs. After that, the only response mandated for a chemical or biological weapon was a nuke. Obviously that is something that is not likely to happen, so there was no response and the evidence of it was swept under the rug.

And if you question if this is real, think on this. We were in Kuwait and the surrounding area for less then a year, yet had thousands of cases of "Gulf War Syndrome". We have been in the area now for over 20 years, where is the Gulf War Syndrome this time? We should have tens of thousands of cases, but we do not. And every symptom of "Gulf War Syndrome" was also a symptom of Sarin, Organophosphates, or Mustard Gas.

 

That is a rather silly policy.

Which will prompt a nuclear war, if by accident or design one of the main nuclear powers did it. Also with the accident view of friendly fire when nato and other forces get confused.

It is very fortunate that policy has not ben used as does really need to be rethought.

Also which further causes ponder. Another topic explains the fire in a nuclear american sub. Now this policy of Wmd. Does it take into account massive failures like that.

What if that sub was russian or chinese and leaking nuclear waste over american shores or military strong holds. Is that classed as an attack. Does the Washington govement respect the letter of obscure policy and start flooding bejing or moscow with chemical gas.

 

What a load of tom tit!

Yes the US government will hand out billions of dollars for damage inflicted by Saddam, giving your soldiers Gulf War Syndrome!

Bollocks!

The damage was done by two methods.
1. Depleted Uranium inhaled by troops, that stuff you love to defend so much! Just look at the deformed kids....your a bloody hero!
2. The injections the troops received to protect them against Sarin! Oooh sarin Rumsfelt sold Saddam in the first place.... to murder Iranians! Ooh and American trained Kurds in Iraq!
Aye I remember Bush and his parisites bragging about the American train soldiers who Saddam couldn't attack because of the no fly zone..... Saddam used American made Sarin Gas and destroyed them all!
Well he learned these techniques from the best...... the same parasites!

The Tribune? Not good enough? Freedom of Information????

But then...its so difficult to get anything but propaganda from your outlets!

And yet....... and yet,,,,,they accepted "THE SAME TERMS" after your lot dropped the nuclear bombs!
The emperor had the same position and the unconditions surrender of the Japanees armed forces!
The same offered by Russia at Potsdam!

No doubt with a knee-jerk response in a completely irrational manner.

 

Chemical weapons are a pretty serious thing.

 

No, it is actually a very sane policy. Remember, the option is to either tie in all WMDs together, or the US resumes it's stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons again.

And it also ties all of them into the concept of MAD to help prevent their use in the first place.

As for your last sentence, do not try and strectch things so far out of contact with reality that they are blatently silly. If a sub is off the shores of the US, it would be recovered. Nothing new here, you are simply trying to start a pissing contesst that I am not going to play with. Talk to me about reality, not man on the moon stuff.

 

Ooooh......Mr Mushroom

another link just for you......

And this has exactly what to do with the topic at hand and being discussed?

Nothing.

 

All day I have tried to answer posts and have either lost the page or lost the ability to access the site for posting, time someone was getting there butts felt!

Either that or forget the "improvements" and go back to the basic format, but I give up for today!

You national creed is corruption, your policies are to murder and maim all even defenseless nations, Your military will stoop as low as necessary to destroy...perhaps you should rename America as hades... you just export it at present!

We won't mention the depleted uranium your WMD used in Iraq Afghanistan and may other places through out this world.

Your run by degenerates....... no mistaking my meaning there then...... Call a spade a spade!

Your nation is the worst pile of keich this world has ever known... through out the history of mankind!!
And to make matters worst... you have no shame for your militaries actions! Be it killing using special weapons, (look at report link) WMDs against civilians, reach up.... if you try really hard you might reach the gutter!

Have a nice day.

 

I pretty much ignore Highlander. He posts over and over again, often off topic and about the same conspiracy themes over and over again.

 

I doubt we would go strait to the use of nuclear weapons unless it was a large scale attack. In that case, they would also be attacking S.Korea and Japan. I don't believe they would attack the US mainland and not attack Japan and S.Korea as well seeing as those are the two largest threats to them if they decide to pick a conflict with the US. Most of our operations would probably be centralized out of those locations among other forward locations when dealing with N.Korea.

 

Obviously you have the concentration span of a mosquieto.

The link to much for you.... I suppose it must be difficult dealing with all the detestable degenerate's actions of your military and corrupt politicians.
Not much wonder more are committing suicide on there return from committing genocide against unarmed civilians!
Perhap's it easier killing the messenger......?

No conspiracy.... look at the link son... be ashamed ....... very ashamed!

It may of escaped your notice...... terrorism..... what your country readily exports around the world...... and has been from many years..... proof in the link! But then you would have to read it!!!

Proof that previously discussed the option for not dropping the bomb was available.

Your degenerates wanted above all to used a weapon to terrorist the world for many years to come..... and still does...... remove ones head from ones rectum one may see something other than ones own bigotry!

Other links prove the methods they are going to to hide the use of theatre warheads!

Again you'd have to go to the link, but I'm afraid your concentration span might not be able to contend with that much information, perhaps one should go to fox news, enjoy the keich one knows.
Have a nice day.
