We need to know where this cloud of Sarin passed over, it just says US troops in the article. Did it go over our troops? I remember being sent out to check the NAIAD at the Chinook FOB one day, apparently they were alarming at other locations.

But,but....that can't be true! The press and naysayers insist that no such weapons or chemicals existed! Someone has got it wrong and it's not this report. The press and peaceniks have a lot to explain....

Well the films we were shown pre-war of the poor Kurds killed off by the village load tended to prove the facts they had all sorts of chemical and biological weapons.

Yes, I was on that Chin Det (FRT) too.The NAIADs were quite regular and many of those units around us reported alarms. The few times that we masked up were for very short periods and we often left our 'greens' on the ground while working up top - taking just the masks with us. We used to get fully dressed inside the chinooks.

I believe this relates to Gulf War 1.

It does, I thought it was common knowledge that Gulf War Syndrome was a GW1/GRANBY/Desert Storm thing.
