I actually trained with some NBC gear while in the Marines right before Desert Shield. It certainly wasn't very comfortable and you really couldn't see much outside the suit.

I could smell tear gas leaking through the gas mask too. Scary!

I don't see how anyone could wear a clunky piece of covering out in a searing desert and expect to accomplish anything.

60 mins did a great job though covering this issue. Despite Pentagon reasurances, I seriously doubt the effectiveness of NBC equipment in the field.
