Given the past performance of Iraq in the use of gas as an offensive weopon
what are our options? What can a mass of troops (ours) in the open do 
against a nerve gas ? Can atropine be used several times in succession ? Are 
there any defenses other than funny suits, imagine fighting in a vry large 
rubber suit in 100 degree weather. When used against the Kurds was the gas 
delivered by air, arty, or troops. Think the unthinkable !
