They are being intentionally vague, and playing tricks, as I stated above. Its like someone asking you "do you have a gun?" And you responding: "I have no offensive weapons".

I just showed you plenty of cases of the US killing people with chemical and biological agents. People had to discover these atrocities, because the pentagon didn't have press releases stated they did them (shocker).

Question: Do you think anyone has the pressure to get the US to close down their biochemical warfare departments? What's the solution to getting them to stop killing innocent people with bioweapons?

Your question has a poor premise. All of your examples are at least forty years old, well predating the fall of the Soviet Union. Asking the US to stop now would be like staging an intervention for a 40 years sober alcoholic.

40 years sober alcoholic.

In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa. That's about 3 bombs every hour.

Question, how did you get to be this ignorant?

Unfortunately I accidentally submitted my comment before I was done composing it. That brings me to what would have been the point. The US is perfectly capable of using conventional weapons to fulfill its goals on the typical modern battlefield. Biochemical weapons are more likely to be harmful to the US's objectives. The trend has been towards more precision weapons, but biological weapons especially are incredibly imprecise.
