Chlorine? I have to ask... 

They used to gas each other with it.  As a joke.

Punches, they weren't pulled.  People would have begged for punches.

It was in fact so awful that Hitler, who had experienced gas, refused to use it first in WWII.

Churchill said he'd use it if Britain was invaded, but otherwise also refused to use it first.  America didn't sign the treaty banning use of gas (no treaty bans the stockpiling of gas) until 1970, but also refused to use it first.

Funny thing is, by the end of the war, it didn't work for shit.  25% of all shells fired were gas, and only caused 3% of the casualties, as gas is pretty easy to deal with if you know how.

It's fucking murder on civilians, though.

Mustard gas can last damn near forever in the right conditions.  It's filthy fucking stuff.  In some situations, gas is worse than a nuke.

Scares them pretty good too.  Mr Cheney knows a thing or two about that.

Yeah, as a terror weapon, even the THREAT of maybe potentially being gassed scares the shit out of damn near everyone.
