Yeah, I am friends with a colonel in the Chemical Corps. He has showed me several examples of the new M-50, but I guess it just isn't being issued in the field yet.

That is scary that there are NBC hazards on the ground over there, no matter how big or small. Good thing there is no VX....

Take care,

Bart

But yes NBC is present here on the battlefield just not in large Soviet-style amounts or usage- I have seen it personally. It makes Stars and Stripes so its public knowledge, just guess it doesnt make the US News.

BTW-We still use the M40/JLIST suits.
