Deep Sea News : Munitions Dumping at Sea: "It is no secret that the U.S. military has used the ocean as trashcan for munitions in the past. Peter discussed at the Old DSN how federal lawmakers were pressing the US Army to reveal everything it knows about a massive international program to dump chemical weapons off homeland and foreign shores. 'The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.' "
Wow, I don't even know what to say about this. Don't we already have enough environmental issues going on? They mention later in the text how hundreds of dolphins washed up on shore, dead, with burns similar to the ones created by mustard-gas.
