And WHY would we do that? WHY would we sign a treaty that takes chem weapons out of our quiver if IT IS GOING TO SAVE A SINGLE MARINE'S LIFE?
this is the arbitrary shit that Im talking about.
Because there are other technologies and advanced weapons that do a better job without the cruel and inhumane deaths that come from things such as mustard gas... such as fucking cluster bombs..
Plus it usually takes a really big delivery system to have an attack from a cluster bomb... some whacko can walk into an elementary school with a backpack delivery system of mustard gas and cruelly kill thousands.... also why we have such a fear for a country like Iran to gain nuke technology...
Does this mean I prefer or want someone to walk in and bomb a school with hand grenades instead? No... Does supporting cluster bombs mean I condone any senseless death of a child? No... Does supporting advanced effective explosive weaponry mean I should inherently support nasty chemical agents? No.....
But it sure makes for a nice little soap box for your irrationality to stand on
