   Where to start with this one?  The last two sentences are almost
   beneath contemptual comment, but since the entire posting indicates
   a somewhat hysterical attempt at flame-bait.....     

   I don't know of any branch of the military that doesn't do the
   gas demonstration with tear gas.  SOME branches seem to do a bit
   better than the one you obviously were in.   The point of the
   demonstration in the fighting branches of the military was that
   although the gas was quite unpleasant, you could still function
   very nicely whilst in a tear gas cloud, say well enough to express
   your pleasure with the nice folks on the other side of the combat
   fence that decided to use this stuff on you?   "Unbearable pain"?
   Boy, do you have some unpleasant surprises ahead of you.  

   Some of the gasses they didn't demonstrate to you are extremely
   deadly and yet very pleasant-smelling.  Imagine a quick whiff of
   ripe peach pits or almonds right before you turn blue and very
   very stiff.  

   Or imagine smelling absolutely nothing as you void explosively from
   every sphincter and go numb all over.  

   Some of these agents are tested on animals.  However, if you would
   like to volunteer to substitute for the animals, I wouldn't have a
   big problem with that.
