Expert Claims Proper Use of Gas Could Make Viet Nam War Humane
Former U.S. chemical warfare expert Brig. Gen. J. H. Rothschild argues that properly used mustard gas could disable Viet Cong tunnel networks without killing, potentially making warfare more humane. He cites tunnels with hospitals and storage, advocates gas to neutralize them, and notes dangers and delayed effects. He also claims gas could force VC facilities to collapse and dampen enemy morale, while warning of public fear and ethical implications.
