Thanks for the Answer - interesting the info on BARI
But - is the Stockpile available for immediate use enough for a sustained campaign? (that ship held 2.000 bombs sent there in response to "german" threats to use chemical weapon)? - but for the stories sake assume it was enough stored...
And the argument : they started it holds true for the Japanese, but the Germans should be able to say the same (they strted it when they attacked our ally = Japan) - but alas the Germans lost the war, so they are measured differently.
Concerning disproportinate losses - I actually thoght more if the ineffectual use of the plague carriers - the relative few casualties - i am not sure if the plague spread is not "too contained" - it somehow feels like a terror bombing with a few thousand casualties sparking a series of military interventions - wit that actually happened IOTL
Of xcourse the allies have so much more bombers and bombs, but the use of so many chemical weapons seems "disproportionate" its like we kill 100 of your people for each killed by you - at least when a new generation (the 68s maybe?) who thinks differently about warfare there should be the question raised : Did we do the right thing?
OF course the use of chemical and biologgical agents by the axis were war crimes, but wht is the ten, hundred thousandfold use by the allies ?
Its understandable, but is it justified?
BTW - I still can'T get over the untimely demise of Curtis LeMay?
