01:22 Mustard gas is NOT a gas. This is something everybody neglects to mention. It's a viscous liquid, almost as thick as food oil, which splatters into microscopic drops and evaporates extremely slowly. It sticks to everything, and even the tiniest amount causes chemical burns on exposed skin. This is why it's so nasty: soldiers may carry unnoticed drops of it on their uniforms and equipment, and get injured days, or even weeks after the attack. But it does not attack the respiratory system, unless somehow it gets into the victim's air vents, and doesn't linger in the air, because it's not a gas. It's confused with chlorine gas here, that's what has this kind of effect. Mustard gas can only be neutralized with strong chemicals which may cause injury themselves: solution of sodium hypochlorite (aka. bleach) or calcium hypochlorite, concentrated ozone gas, etc.

In reality with the enemy who is dishonorable would say “Sure” shooting the officers because all warfare is deception and doesn’t follow any sense of honor. War isn’t about fighting for honor and glory, it’s all about fighting dirty and winning. It’s true everyone has to play fair and square but not everyone plays fair.

@Trystan-k5s Ай бұрын

In old times, the officers were sons of nobles and other wealthy classes. It was more favorable to capture them and then ransom them back for money. It was expected of both sides to do this since those that started the war (nobles and other wealthy classes) had their sons in the war as well. It wasn't so much as not allowed to kill but if one side broke the rule, then the other side would do as well. This would result in loss of their sons and a loss of revenue. As for the foot soldiers, they were peasants and weren't an issue for the rulers.

@MichaelBrandon10 Ай бұрын

@Trystan-k5s that's exactly what I'm talking about. The wealthy (elite, superior) were the officers. I understand what you're saying, though.

@valcanoman1829 Ай бұрын

@@Trystan-k5s yes that is very true Trystan-k5s, but you do need to know that over the years the nobility realized that war isn’t for them anymore because if they were to get captured they would get killed or never released from their captors. They would let their generals take over, the wealthy nobles have to realize that all warfare is deception, infiltration and manipulation with someone else who doesn’t follow any kind of chivalry and code of honor. It is what war is about for it is not about honor and glory. It’s all about winning.

When I used to serve as an NCO in the Austrian Army back in the 1990ies, a fellow NCO used to say: "Ein Freiwilliger ist jemand, der die Frage falsch verstanden hat" = "A volunteer is someone who misheard the question". 🙂 On the other hand, I frequently did what one might call "tactical volunteering": for instance, when we went on field exercises with our conscripts, I always volunteered for duty officer right on the first day to get it over with. Because not only would I be off the hook for DO duty for the rest of the exercise (and thus e.g. was always able to take part in the interesting stuff during an exercise), it also put me in my CSMs good book (and as probably anyone who served might know, earning your CSMs respect will go a long way if you do need _their_ support someday).

It's a common misconception that "mustard gas" is a gas. It's an oily binary liquid that covers the area of effect and persists for up to 60 days. After the inital barrage the liquid begins to off-gas, hence "mustard gas". In the armory it's called Lewisite+Sulfur Mustard.

For medics, I found it always best to make friends with the medics in my battalion. They went in unarmed, and were the ones to save your butt. I have to say that making friends with the medics while in garrison helped me a lot when we were deployed.
