European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 12, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday june 12, 1980 the stars and stripes Page .11 chemical warfare Story Ca de vary tale a recent article which appeared in the stars and stripes May 23 under the head line chemical warfare i Cory dangerous spreads not Only dangerous but also mis leading theory. Can one really be so naive As to imagine that our tanks rumble into defensive action troop carriers move toward engagement pilots run toward their waiting aircraft. And nothing happens. Tank Crews slump in i hair scats dead. The carriers spin off the Ruad i he pilots drop on the they All lie by dead or unconscious because they were surprised by the nerve Gas attack and the troops of the red army just Roll Forward like they were on a Parade. Does anyone expect us to believe in these fairy tales is the writer not aware of the fact that the modern army is Well prepared and capable to Deal with the defensive action in Case of such an attack does t the writer know that the United states and nato armies Are equipped with the chemical alarm system protective masks and clothing As Well As other efficient protective equipment How can a Soldier attempt to defend him self against Abc attack this difficult task permanent olympics in View of the olympic crisis i have a suggestion a permanent olympic Loca Tion in Olympia Greece. After All. It is Only appropriate for the games to be permanently returned to their place of origin. I also feel that instead of building an entire Complex in a different country every four years it would be better to let each nation erect its own permanent Pavilion in firmly believe that letting Olympia be a Neutral olympic state is the Only Way to keep politics out of the olympics and to rediscover the spirit of the Competition and Good will that motivated the athletes of ancient Greece Over 2,500 years am in favor of the Boycott but i am not in favor of the political events that made it in the future we will allow our athletes to compete against each other and not against their respective countries Politi Cal Radigan Ober Ursel Germany Falls into three phases detection of the Abc attack As soon As possible Protection against its effects and cure if the weapon none the less is effective. Various detection systems have been developed. On a higher level constant Mon not allow anyone to run Blind in Case of a real enemy attack regardless How inflicted. The first thing to do would be to mask and use All equipment available to prevent casualties and take necessary defensive Mea sures. Those odourless invisible gases can be european edition letters to the editor storing of the size of the particles in the atmosphere May give an indication of any unusual increase in the promotion of parti cles Between about one and five microns in diameter the size of the aerosol particles with which the biological attack would most probably be made. Another method uses the substance which makes a firefly glow in order to detect an to Cosine trip omphale a which is present in almost All living organisms but which docs not occur in the atmosphere on its effects of an Abc attack can to some extent be warded off by protective clothing masks and shelters. The protective mask is still the mainstay of such a Protection and most armies in the world have masks arc designed to filter out any contaminating substance biological or chemical present in the air breathed through them. They Are not sufficient Protection against chemical agents which can penetrate the skin such As Mustard Gas. To overcome this Hazard various protective suits have been designed Anad issued to the soldiers. Another possible line of defense against Abc attacks arc available medical cures or prophylactics against the agents involved. Soldiers arc provided with Antibiotic packs so that they could treat themselves and their comrades in Case of Abc attack. Similarly an automatic injection device con Taining atropine which is an antidote to certain nerve gases is supplied to the United states a school trained Abc officer i would question of Justice i for one am no longer surprised by the Way the Justice system works when it comes to Blacks because the system works Accord ing to whether or not it suits its purpose.

Little does he know about the effect of a nerve Gas. He writes that units of the red army Are equipped with protective masks and clothing implying that the United slates Soldier is not afforded such a Protection. Little knowledge but a lot of noise. Such a writer should acquaint it Milf with the facts before publishing such a fictitious article. The first use of Gas in world War i was by the germans against the rus sians at Belimow. January 1915. There they have used Gas shells. At Ypres. German detected by the equipment at our disposal. Used chlorine Gas. This Gas has a choking the United slates and nato Soldier is effect which convulsed the Throat and the Well trained in the Abc warfare and he lungs unlike the Mustard Gas used later knows what to expect during the Abc at which Burns the skin eyes and lungs Lack but i am quite sure that the red i suggest that people who have nothing to army is also aware of this fact otherwise do should occupy themselves with More they would already be on the move. Pleasant and perhaps More rewarding Hob a similar but More nonsensical article Bies and leave the Abc subject to proves appeared in the the polish daily edited signals. For the stubborn it May not be eat in London. Us author whose Abc knowl but definitely More rewarding. Little knowl Edge seems to be that of a Chimney sweeper Edge is degrading if not dangerous Wrils that during world War i germans used about 30 different types of Gas including Mustard Gas that the Pentagon has at present Only about 2,000 Abc specialists a Soldier needs Confidence in his Uca Pum and in his equipment.
