[Sir Taliesin]

Unfortunately, the use of CS Gas goes against the rules of war and the Geneva Convention, which we follow. I also must point out that the US military is NOT TRAINED for actual police work. They are soldiers, hence the force they practice using is most always lethal. Currently the US Marines are testing non-lethal equipment and tactics, but as far as I know they haven't actually started using them.

I think an executive order that prohibited the use of assasination was a mistake and painted us into a box were by the only means open to us after negotiations and other non-agressive tactics fail is war. That's not to say that we should started shooting every leader we don't get along with. But there should be some kind of lethal means where by we can avoid direct warfare.
