SFC Randy Purham ISIS will use all weapons at their disposal. The sooner we can destroy ISIS the better.

SFC Randy Purham unfortunately, if ISIS has chemical weapons, they won't hesitate to use them....this is why we need to wipe them off of the face of earth.

SSG (Join to see), I believe they will as well. I only hope we are ready for that when that time comes. Right now they are employing some of it against ISF, but once we get involved (again), then we are talking about a whole new ball game in terms of conventional warfare and unconventional warfare being combined. At the end of the day, as American forces we can't continue to play nice with these jokers when they are not in the same rule book as ours.

If I remember correctly, the US policy is that anyone who uses WMDs on American Military will be responded to in kind. We may not have chemical weaponry, but we sure do have tac-nukes and sub-nuke ordnance like the MOAB.

Our response would more likely would be carpet bombing the country back to the stone ages rather than use nukes.
