Its evil stuff, in some ways worse than nuclear IMO
Many more dangerous regimes have it than nuclear, but it is much more likely to be used
Maybe some peaceniks should be marching to ban it too, but no I forgot, many of their "pet" countries have nerve agents the most..

Lots of nerve agents are incidentely discovered while researching insecticides etc.. So most of them are quite easy to manufacture, with common production chemicals.. That's why you can't even control it, even when you'd like to.. Every banana country can make it..

I know off the Dutch military that they used something similar, but haven't seen them for a while (production dates off 20 years or "fresher") .. We have special NBC canteens with a drinking hole.....
I think this is a much better solution with much less chance off polution

We too:
There is a valve in the bottle cap, where the hose fits in so you can drink water even with NBC mask out of your canteen.
That "Nährlösung" (nutrition solition) is made to feed the soldier that wears NBC garment for a longer. It contains some extra dextrose and "salt"
