Explanation: A brilliant fellow by the name of John Doughty during the US Civil War suggested getting a head start on the atrocity carousel by initiating mass chemical warfare about 50 years early. This is by no means a concerning idea, and Mr. Doughty was doubtlessly a wholly sane and stable individual. Luckily, the suggestion was not adopted.
Funny enough, the Lieber Code adopted by the Union during the Civil War, dealing with the rules of warfare, DOES actually prohibit the use of poison, so this idea would have been illegal even at the time.
The US Army has an awful lot of dubs during the civil war. A prohibition on chemical warfare wasn’t something I anticipated but I appreciate another W.
Correction: Chlorine doesn’t have a smell in the pool. “Pool smell” is the reaction produced when chlorine reacts with urea.
Yeah, you are smelling that smell because of pee.
To test it out for yourself, output an ass ton of chlorine in a bucket of water, fully dissolve it, and the smell it. No smell at all.
Now add a bit of pee.
Pool smell instantly.
I don’t think he would be advocating per warfare, but maybe he is kinky like that.
