As usual, a couple careful lies are inserted into a broader, more sensible argument.
hundreds of
Give me your source for hundreds, instead of a small handful that your links had.
chemical and biological weapons
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.

you making things up doesn’t change the facts provided by the US government in those sources.
these are historical verified documents and recordings testified about by US government agencies and scientists in a senate hearing.
your fabrications have no relevance here.

My “fabrications” are all clearly laid out in the sources you yourself provided, to anybody that spends a minute thinking about it. If you have any evidence of actual anthrax being released, or these hundreds of experiments being large scale, you are welcome to provide them. I will gladly review them. I am, after all, open to being wrong if it is proven.
