Necronomicon Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 From "Kicking Ass" to "Ass Kicking". Expect a chem/bio artillery barage within seven days. How long can a GI fight in a "germ suit"? Martyrs make the worst "enemy combatants". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should make you happy and you can then live with your terrorist brothers. You're right - we're doomed. It was fun while it lasted.

Necronomicon Posted March 26, 2003 Author Share Posted March 26, 2003 I never said we'd lose, my point here is that this war will be a LOT uglier than advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I can speak from experience here .. the US Armed forces have been trained very very well to defend against chemical attacks. The M1 Abrahams, for example, is completely contained and has a filter system which prevents chemical agents from entering the A/C system. In addition, coalition forces are outfitted with full charcoal suits, rubber gloves, rubber overboots, and cutting edge gas masks (which work very well -- it sure prevents CS tear gas from penetrating). In addition to this they are given atropine injections to counteract the effects of a chemical attack (although if you have to use atropine, you're in pretty bad shape). We will conquer. We are the US, the world's superpower. We have the finest military, and the finest men running the show (General Franks, Donald Rumsfeld, President Geroge W. Bush, etc). Remember folks, if it comes down to it, we still have nukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necronomicon Posted March 26, 2003 Author Share Posted March 26, 2003 The question is: How long can a GI fight in a "germ suit" before it becomes ineffective? Hours? Days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have stayed in MOPP 4 for 1 day in basic training, but the procedure is to decontaminate once you get to a safer area. I would suppose that the tankers and scouts (sealed and contanied within the M1 Abrahams and Bradley Fighting Vehicles) would press on while the rest of the ground troops retreated to the rear to be decontaminated.

I'm sure the suits all leak and the soldier will die an ugly and immediate death. Then your Iraqi hero's can drag their dead bodies through the streets and denounce Bush for the anti-environmental monster he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fight like gentlemen! The irony is that our nation was founded on "guerilla warfare", but now that the enemy is disobeying war "conventions", they are criminals. As if there is a proper way to kill another human being, or that war is somehow civilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
