i think the bloke that survived a chemical attack deserves a say

"Other bombs you can hide yourself in a shelter or mountain or somewhere but chemical is mixing with the air, you cannot hide."

that's not to say that being killed by normal bombs is a good thing, or that *something* shouldn't have been done earlier - but i can see why being killed in a gas attack can be seen as being worse
