#1 Stands to reason.

Oh, Australia,
never mind.

#2 Australia did conduct tests along these lines, especially the notorious Mustard Gas test, in which masked soldiers exercised in a room with blister agent, and were severely injured.

Australia provided the US with a film of the event, then requested its return once it became embarrassing, which the US did not, claiming it was lost. It wasn't.

At the same time, the US and many other nations were making a multitude of tests, including hallucinogens, radioactive materials and radiation, biological weapons, and more positive things, like anti-radiation medicines.

In the case of this nerve gas test, it was probably an "acid test" to make sure that their protective equipment worked, which all too often, it doesn't.

#6 better known as Sarin — nerve gas.

Already field tested in the Tokyo subways without American involvement. However, I'm sure the moonbats can entertain us with their lurid fantasies on making a connection.
