Sad story - I had a graduate school classmate in the early 2000s who was caught in the downwind drift from blowing up Saddam’s munitions after GW-I, some of which was chemical. He was in a tussle with the VA to get the symptoms treated then.
The reported “muffled explosion” from the SCUD is taught as an indicator of a chemical munitions deployment. It’s unfortunate the unit didn’t react accordingly with masks and MOPP gear.
That can’t be. Libs have assured us Saddam didn’t even have any WMDs, let alone any outlawed by Geneva.
Those must have just been some fireworks left over from Ramadan or something.
That is curious. We went to full MOPP for every SCUD attack.
