This week we learned about chemical warfare. Many things surprised me in the power point, especially the fact that poison was indeed considered chemical warfare. The arguments for and against chemical warfare were sound, and although I believe it would be unfair to use incapacitating technologies, and advantages the other side wouldn't have access to, I would repremind myself by saying this is WAR, and the honor is War is long gone, in fact, I would argue there hasn't been any honor in war since the development of tools to use in war.
The powerpoint was incredibly helpful building arguments for my PRO Bio/Chem Warfare presentation, in which I took apart the con argument from the powerpoint.
There is no honor in war, therefore chemical weapons are natural progression of technological advantages used in conflict.
They may end suffering more quickly.
They may protect you.
(Pepper spray is also a chemical weapon).
