I was curious about why Mustard Gas was an issue for WWII troops since my paternal grandfather and his brother were lance corporals in the British Army and fought in the trench warfare of France and Belgium in WWI where mustard gas was used among other artillery borne chemical agents SGT (Join to see). Thank for filling in the gap by letting us know it was secret mustard gas tests of troops at the end of WWII.

Here's an article that wasn't mentioned in this article. It's very disturbing why and who was tested. This makes me sick. I don't think they were conscientious objectors. Read this and get back with me.

Secret World War II Chemical Experiments Tested Troops By Race
While the Pentagon acknowledged years ago that it used American servicemen in World War II mustard gas experiments, NPR found new details about tests that grouped subjects by the color of their skin.

SGT (Join to see) - It is very disturbing Sgt. and although that article dosent say anything about religious conscientious objectors I viewed a TV documentary on it several years ago about exposing them to Gas Maybe it was a way to cover up raciest Issues ,I dont Know they were cruel to Tuskegee airmen and the Black Navy Diver the two articles seem to have discrepancies anyways looking at the one you posted shows them wearing WW1 helmets Right off the bat ... Thanks for sharing I appreciate everybody on this RP and Your comments weather popular or not...
