Clearly you’ve never been in the military. Let’s say the enemy one day drops leaflets saying they will gas your position every 12 hours at 8 AM and 8 PM every day. You’re prepared with your gas mask and full NBC gear every 12 hrs. No danger at all right? Wrong. Even if nobody dies at all from the gas, the act of putting that stuff on twice a day will quickly give someone PTSD.
What if I forget or lose my suit?!? What if I oversleep my alarm?!? Are those army dudes at the treeline? I can’t see out of this thing! I can’t breathe! Fuuuuuck!!! The psychological effect is arguably worse than the weapons themselves seeing as the psych patients don’t even have to be hit by it to feel lifelong damaging effects.
