Read the linked articles, they are not long. A small handful of cases are being carefully exaggerated in the post body to make it seem like a much broader problem.
The following claims are unsupported by the links:
harmful chemical, biological and radiological agents and weapons
while chemical and biological agents were dropped by air hundreds of times
chemical and biological weapons and toxins were also sprayed over dozens of US cities without notification or consent via Operation sea spray and related operations
These fairly obvious lies aside, the badly cropped image and the “supposedly ending” should be a dead giveaway that this person is being manipulative. 4/10 misinformation post. Not the worst work I’ve seen op, but kinda meh. I’m sure you can do better.

this is in no way misinformation, there are several verified sources you can look up directly from those Wikipedia links.
the US military and intelligence agencies admitted to conducting hundreds of chemical and biological weapons testing on civilian and military personnel without consent.
those experiments are established fact.
that Senate committee hearing includes all the testimony and documents from the scientists and military officials who conducted these tests.
The nature of these experiments are fully supported by that Senate hearing and the scientists and military personnel who conducted those experiments.
the facts are very clear here.

As usual, a couple careful lies are inserted into a broader, more sensible argument.
Give me your source for hundreds, instead of a small handful that your links had.
Give me your source for weapons, instead of mostly harmless stuff that sickened less than 0.1% of people exposed like your links said.
I’ve been around the block too many times to fall for this bullshit, op. Like I said, 4/10. I’ve seen much, much better than you.

“source for hundreds”
aside from the sources you aren’t reading, here’s PBS talking about a couple hundred of the tests (a small portion of the tests revealed by the church committee) in plain English.
www.pbs.org/wgbh/…/weapon-secret-testing/
if you want to go into more detail or look at the hundreds of other tests that the US government has admitted to, you can read the linked articles, the actual Church committee report itself and any of the testimonies given by the scientists and us government agencies who conducted these tests.
“Give me your source for weapons”
literally the US government saying we are testing anthrax and serratia marascens as a biological weapon.
“In the Army’s words, these experiments “proved the feasibility of covering large areas of the country with [biological weapons] agents.””
again, directly in those government and news sources I’ve linked to.
“I’ve been around the block too many times to fall for this”
…to fall for documented historical facts?
acquiring new verified knowledge is called learning, it’s not a trick.

That PBS article says 200 total tests were conducted to study biological weapons. This does not mean 200 were large scale releases on the American public. It then talks about the same handful of examples your wikipedia article lists. This does not support your overall claim. If you said a dozen large scale tests, with hundreds of total tests with some being much smaller, you’d probably be fine.
They were testing for how spread works for something like Anthrax by releasing other, not-Anthrax bacteria. The bacteria they released were not weapons. This is why everybody didn’t just fucking die.
You’re a manipulator and a deceiver, op. It doesn’t matter if you yourself were deceived first.
