What's the big deal with gas? Why the taboo?

Its humane. Its efficient. Its a better way to deal with a belligerent populace than fire bombing (buildings aren't damaged). And its certainly better than leaving a populace to its own devices (see Cape Town or Baltimore)

Lethal gas should be more common in the battlefield and in law enforcement uses, not less. Let's applaud its use, its cleaner than any gun could be.

Death by gun = 5 minutes bleeding out, pain everywhere

Death by gas = 1 minute of confusion because body seizes followed by blackout

Gas should be more common and causes much less collateral damage. Syrians are a violent race and often die violent deaths, gas is a much more peaceful way to go than their usual deaths.

Do you pluck wings off of flies or do you simply spray the flies with a can of Raid?

Literally no. Bombs only kill the thing you drop them on. Dropping a bomb on somebody that isn't an enemy combatant does not make bombs indiscriminate, it makes the military indiscriminate.

Cluster explosives are considered indiscriminate due to their large area of effect, but that seems more of a political reaction to their use in the Middle East and elsewhere than an accurate estimation of the weapons' deadliness.

The largest issue I see is in our current conflict, a hostile element is hiding among a "friendly" group or non-combatives, So using AOE styled weapons as effective as gas would harm the larger "friendly " group.

That said, if a there were a large hostile element hiding in say a valley, and there was no possible way for friendly fire, then go a head.


tl:dr Friendly fire is bad press.

consider why veterans who experienced 5 years of machineguns and shrapnel thought blister gas was by far the worst and would steal gas masks from their wounded friends just to avoid it

Gas cases are terrible. They cannot breathe lying down or sitting up they just struggle for breath, but nothing can be done. Their lungs are gone - literally burnt out. some have their eyes and faces entirely eaten away by gas and their bodies covered with first-degree burns. We must try to relieve them with a tent of popped-up sheets. Gas burns must be agonizing because usually the other cases do not complain, even with the worst wounds, but gas cases are invariably beyond endurance and they cannot help crying out. One boy today screaming to die, the entire top layer of his skin burnt from face and body. I gave him an injection of Morphine. He was wheeled out just before I came on duty. Where will it end?

Causes suffocation, blindness, bone-breaking involuntary muscle spasms, intense burning and blistering, liquid build up in lungs leading to asphyxiation (just to name just a few). Also due to environmental factors it is rarely distributed ideally, resulting in less than lethal concentrations that often leaves soldiers maimed. Said environmental factors may also make the weapon useless as most chemical weapons are effected by humidity, wind, and precipitation; it can only be used effectively if the weather is just right.

It is neither of those things and is also very easy to protect against, you moron.

Hell, one of the biggest differences with the Yazidi is that they don't worship God, but through his angels, the greatest of which, the Peacock Angel, is the one they pray to and so on.

The "Satanic" part is that he rebelled and was imprisoned, but was later forgiven and restored.

This point has been beaten to death but fuck it, some people are still not convinced. Gas is not humane, it's not like a lethal injection, you don't just go to sleep. Mustard gas causes fluid build up in the lungs. It drowns you. It scars the lungs. It blinds you, which may or may not be permanent. Nerve gas targets the nerves, it shuts down your body bit by bit, leaving you conscious as your heart stops beating and lungs stop expanding. Gas lingers in an area, is indiscriminate, and can be impossible to detect. It has killed in great numbers, from the trenches of WWI to the mass extermination of Jews (and other "undesirables") during the Holocaust, to the recent attack in Syria. This is no overreaction, you won't just "go to sleep." You will die, slowly and painfully. All this debate on its use, its legality, is pointless. Gas is terrible. End of story, end of thread.

>>
>>33578628
>humane
No.
We choose weapons that kill quickly and painlessly because they are humane. Gas does not kill quickly, it causes undue harm to non-combatants, and it lingers in the area for a long time. A weapon that takes time to kill is a garbage weapon for combat. A weapon that kills both enemies and civilians / friendlies who get too close is useless in all but the most extreme situations.

Even when you try and justify the use of non-conventional weapons by engineering them to be 'humane', we don't want to set a precedent where use of a wider variety of types of weapons becomes the norm (gas, radiological, biological, nuclear).

That's not a direction most people want the world to move in, because as that technology develops it's going to become more widely available, to more governments, more non-government actors.

1. It's indiscriminate and hard to control.
2. It's easily defeated via respirator or bottled oxygen / rebreather.
3. If you don't have a respirator, etc you can't use it in close quarters.
4. A negligent discharge could kill your entire fireteam.
5. People exposed to lower quantities will suffer for hours, days or weeks (suffering from fluid in the lungs, etc) before dying.
6. Low enough exposure might not kill you, but depending on the chemical, it can leave you with permanently damaged mental capacity, motor-control problems, heart diseases, birth defects in offspring and a host of cancers, etc.
>>
>>33578628
Basically all chemical warfare gases kill you in horrific painful ways. Dying of blood loss is way less painful than that.
Most of these gases are heavier than air and will accumulate in below-ground level areas. Wind dispersal is also a problem, the wind will blow it in directions you don't want it to go. Some of these gases are also flammable and will cause uncontrolled fires.
Like many anons said, gas attacks kill indiscriminately. Other methods might be misused sometimes to kill indiscriminately, but gas literally has no other use case than killing indiscriminately. And soldiers actually have a better chance to survive than civilians because of gas masks.

>fire bombing
Aren't those banned as well by the Protocol III of the UN Convention on Conventional Weapons?

>regular bombings
Civilians and military personal will flee underground and can be besieged. So soldiers can surrender and civilians don't get killed unnecessarily. If you have to do area attacks, then regular explosives are the least of all evils.
Also drone strikes and targeted missiles are obviously useful to minimize collateral damage/deaths.

That's not why it's banned by the western rules of war, it's because it is fucking annoying to have to issue every soldier with mop gear and the decontamination infrastructure of such. See: the pain in the dick being boots on the ground during the first days of the Iraq war when they thought Saddam might say "fuck it, nuke me" and use sarin on the US curbstomping his army. If nothing sides agree not to use it, then they can back burner all that shit with the underlying fear that a desperate enemy will sucker punch your troops with it in a last gasp.

I think we are all missing the real point. 500k people have been killed and over 7 million displaced... why the fuck do we care when 100 civilians get gassed. We have seen people get their heads chopped off, burned to death in cages, get blown up etc. gas is just another means to die albeit an ineffective one, only 5 percent of the fatalities in ww1 were from gas. The rest were artilary and guns. Not to mention its pretty easy to avoid the gas they used as it has a noticable smell like moldy hay. You can avoid it by moving to a higher elevation as phosgene is pretty dense. Also adoes this mean if assad killed these people with a bomb it would be okay.

Precision Guided Munitions refers to missiles

"Smart" and guided bombs are far less indiscriminate than your standard MK82/83/84, but they aren't foolproof either.

The main thing about gas that causes bombs to win over them is that bombs don't get blown off course by a slight breeze. Gas does.

We have to factor this in for things like smoke flares and other illumination/signal devices.

The problem is this doesn't apply to islamic terrorists. They do not behave as rational enemies. They don't care that much about dying and will let all civilians die rather than sharing shelter. By killing them in a "humane" way you greatly extend the length of the conflict leading to even more civilian deaths.

The real reason gas is banned is that it's not that effective. If they were actually effective, no one would've agreed to ban them. Look at incendiary weapons. Some pussies wanted to ban them, but the US never signed that convention because we like using them.

even if military gas attacks killed completely humanely, you're missing the point of war.

the goal of a war is to completely disable the enemy's ability to fight. not completely kill every single member of your enemy.

even in history, things like artillery and pikes weren't meant to massacre the enemy, even if they had the potential to. they were major deterrents. but gas is only a deterrent until it's actually used, after which it becomes just what a weapon of war isn't supposed to be: a tool for massacres

There is an area of France bigger than the Chernobyl exclusion zone UNINHABITABLE because of chemical weapons used 100 fucking years ago. The effects are not short term.

Everyone who remembers it is now dead but chemical weapons are a fucking horror best left in the past. It's from the same war where we thought it was a sound tactic to send thousands of men charging across open fields into machine gun fire.

Your battlefield video game doesn't make you an expert on this. Fuck off.

You know, when the great war ended, the whole world was terrified about how cruel the gas was, we are talking about people who lost limbs because of sharpnel, explosives and bullets. And yet, gas was the worst of them.

Fuck off man

You probably would end up killing all the children and babies because of overdose, that is why they ask for your weight before giving you sleeping gas to do surgeries.

Of course, shitting all over yourself, pissing your pants, suffocating, and quite literally feeling the life ebb out of you for a few minutes sounds humane.

He pretty much WAS allowed to gas them from the beginning, or did you forget about Obummer's red line already? That's why there were so many refugees - when they saw that Assad basically had free reign to do as he pleased they noped the fuck out of that civil war.

Assad was right he just was too hesitant about the use of gas. Should have carpet bombed them.

Poison gas isn't some precise, still cloud that kills everything within seconds and then fades away as if nothing happened. While it varies based on the agent, one consistant feature is that gasses tend to disperse unevenly and give people lower doses that leave them in various states of gruesomly and fucked up, if they don't get lucky enough to die within a day or two.

The ride isn't over then either. Some agents, like VX, will stick around on surfaces to ruin people's lives until it's properly cleaned up or degrades.

Using poison gasses is deliberately and indiscriminately torturing people, making anyone who uses it a monster.

Bio fag here, OP is retarded and/or trolling. Lemme break it down:
Sarin gas is an organophosphate nerve agent. Organophosphates are esters for phosphoric acid. In some ways they're good in that they serve as a building block for both DNA and RNA among certain cofactors. Now, one thing that was discovered was when you combined these groups with other chemicals (alcohols and halides), alter the molecular structure, or combine it with a different organophosphate group, you get either a gaseous or liquid solution that disrupts the nervous system. Sarin itself is made by combining the OP group with halides (salt producing elements e.g. chlorine, fluorine, etc. mixed with other elements to form compounds like say for example, hydrogen chloride) while including certain alcohols. The result is gases like Sarin, a chemical where when in contact with the skin or other entry routes begins by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for muscular and nerve cell communication. In layman's terms, the stuff interrupts processes for your nerves and muscles, causing painful convulsions, paralysis, and death by asphyxiation. This is not a pleasant way to go, you are spazzing uncontrollably and unable to breathe. Not only that, but it's a potential carcinogen, and those who survive may have permanent nerve damage to boot. Given the varying concentration of the stuff dropped from planes you'll either be writhing and choking for several minutes and die, or feel funny and start undergoing bizarre symptoms for over several hours. That's just one way, another way is through blister agents that form puss filled growths like mustard gas that can take hours to die from by rapidly destroying tissue and even causing asphyxiation by having acid build in your lungs. I could go on, but some shit is better of banned in warfare because a bullet traveling at excessive speeds and causing great damage to vital organs or the spine is far a swifter and more localized means of lethal delivery.

Gas has changed though, a lot less painful more like putting you under and then the light go out, rather than Mustard gas where you may not even die but lord does it cause pain.

I mean you could just lock someone in a room and tear gas them to death. Think about that shit. Pretty sure after long enough that will stop being non-lethal.

During WW1 gas weapons were used extensively. Regions were so badly polluted that there's places that stuff doesn't grow at.

Worse, you'd get cases where there wasn't a strong enough exposure to kill somebody. Maybe a brief exposure before putting on their gas mask or maybe the cloud wasn't at lethal density. Maybe the gas was heavier than air and the man fell into a foxhole.

Regardless, the result was always bad. Strangling damage to the lung as well as crippling damage to all mucous membranes including the eyes and nose. Victims were cripples for life if they didn't spend days coughing to death as their lungs failed.

Bullet wounds and shrapnel either kill you in a day or so or let you live.
>>
>>33578761
The problem is that gas is often less temporary than you think. Modern toxins like VX can remain stable for weeks or years.

More than that, modern gas masks make them ineffective against prepared forces. The real damage will be to civilians with no training or protection against chemical weapons.
>>
>>33578877
Depends on the gas used. Might still be lethal in some spaces and could very well linger on on surfaces for months.
>>
>>33583327
Wrong.
Assad's barrel bombs have 100% accuracy against hospitals.
>>
>>33578892
Assuming ideal conditions, sure, 1 minute until death.

Unfortunately, gas tends to disperse so you'd get people who are under exposed and the gas merely destroys their lungs and eyes.
>>
>>33578996
The detonations might deal with the explosives but they'd just release the poisons into the air. You might be able to burn the gases out but it's expensive and risky.

>>33580135
To be fair, fire bombing civilians was technically a war crime but it's all a bomber can hit in a night raid.

I don't think the guy you're replying to is "the" gasfag. He is right though, sarin isn't particularly persistent.
