As many of the world's militaries know, from grunts to generals, poison gas cannot be controlled. The first reported national genetic victim of the American traveling poison gas Iraq attacks is the American European ally Germany.
Poison gas grew out of favor after World War I. Previously warring powers even criminalized poison gas and made it a War Crime to use it in conflict. The US War Department appreciated poison gas, however, so they just changed the name of the Poison Gas Committee to the Radiological Warfare (RW) Committee and pressed on full tilt.
The RW Committee would oversee the huge Manhattan Project's production of three poison gas bombs. The "devices" had a very small nuclear weapon for dispersal purposes surrounded by thousands of pounds of depleted uranium. Two bombs, Fat Man and Little Boy, were made just as big as would fit through the bomb bay doors of a B-29 Stratofortress.
Control of poison gas is one thing, knowing where the poison gas is supposed to go or is going is another. The Americans certainly know both: where the poison gas is intended to go and where it actually goes.
The German military and civilian population soaked in an estimated 48,000 radioactive particles per cubic meter for about five weeks. All intended for the Iraqi war fighters and civilians. On average, British scientists Busby and Soarse said they inhaled or absorbed 22 million radioactive, sperm, egg and gene destroying particles apiece.
A triple threat, the radioactivity affects war fighters and civilian men's sperm, women's eggs and often visits terrible deformities on any surviving live births, forever. Miscarriages or spontaneous forced abortions go way up, too. The radioactive molecules never go away. They last virtually forever as far as human life spans are concerned.
As a result, years later, the enemy or potential enemy finds it much harder to field an army. All in all, a perfect Force Multiplier weapon in the view of the DOD and the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab in the San Francisco Bay Area. Indeed, President George Bush the Younger went back to Iraq with a Force tasked to do a much bigger job, that was one third the size his Father deployed in Gulf War I.
For a national population to stay even, women must average 2.1 to 2.3 births apiece. According to the Federal Statistics Office of Germany the fertility rate sank to 1.38 children per mother in 2009. That means the German population is dropping fast. This is a result of the sperm and egg killing poison gas cloud generated in the Iraq and Central Asian Nuclear Wars in lethal combination with other factors none as important as the radiation.
