My great grandfather was a French WW I vet . . . He had these blue strips around his wrists until he died safe and sound in the country he adopted at 98 years of age. We didn't unleash this on the world. Do we have it? Yep. Did we give it to Sadly Insane for Chemical Ali's use? Yep.

But we didn't pioneer it.

And the Nazis perfected it as an efficient killing machine.

We pioneered on Nuclear arms though - and look at the Pacific Ocean now post Fukushima.
