- rflrob 8y agoI agree the article is misleadingly written, but presumably the Allies in WWII knew they had no plans to use mustard gas in the immediate future, whereas the enemy could not be relied upon to abstain.
- arrosenberg 8y agoThey did use it first, however. Seems reasonable that the Allies would think they might do it again.
