No, really. 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents; 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste. Disposed of by the extremely clever methods of (a) dumping them overboard or (b) putting them into the holds of ships that were then scuttled.

The sites cannot be examined. Why? Because "Army records are sketchy, missing or were destroyed." That's OK, though, because deep-sea fishermen are finding the stuff for the Pentagon. In the past couple decades more than 200 fishermen have been burned by mustard gas pulled on deck.

I swear I can't make this shit up. Read the bits about the ship that blew up as it was being sunk, or the nerve gas shell that made its way into a Delaware neighborhood driveway.
