In 1919 someone famous said this:

“I cannot understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes”

He was the government minister for war, and he was talking about the Middle East (Kurds and Afghans).

It was Winston Churchill. Not much has changed. The disregard for human life continues.

@dave Something has changed, since politicians and militaries have akways the same mindset, but civilians don't like to hear it anymore, in a public speaking.
Might be that in some far future nobody at all would think or say it, even though just a feeble hypothesis.
