The French had to one‐up their own tungsten poisoning incident.

quote:

A healthy 19-year-old recruit in a French artillery regiment drank 250 mL of a mixture of beer and wine that had rinsed in a hot 155-mm gun-barrel. Fifteen minutes later, he complained of nausea followed by seizures. He was comatose for 24 h, presenting signs of encephalopathy. A moderate renal failure was noted initially and worsened to an extensive tubular necrosis with anuria on the day after the incident. The first toxicological investigations only showed a 0.31 g/L blood ethanol. Then inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) emission-spectrometry revealed very high concentrations of tungsten in the "beverage" as well as in gastric content, blood and urine (1540 mg/L, 8 mg/L, 5 mg/L, and 101 mg/L, respectively). The nature of the metal was confirmed by ICP coupled to mass spectrometry. A simple and reliable ICP quantitative assay of tungsten in biological fluids, hair and nails was then developed. It showed high blood levels (> 0.005 mg/L) until day 13 in spite of six hemodialyses, and in urine until D33. Tungsten was also incorporated in hair and nails. To the best of our knowledge, such an intoxication has never been reported before though this drinking seems to be traditional in the French Artillery. It has probably been favored by the unusually high volume of beverage absorbed and by the new alloy of the gun, containing tungsten. The clinical evolution was satisfactory over weeks and the patient was declared totally cured after five months.

Beyond the standard “you are being an rear end in a top hat again,”

1: Only 25% of the Army has taken the ACFT.
2: Only 7% has taken it twice.
3: Presently, the pass rate is 85%.
4: The test result has zero affect other than going into a pile of big army data right now. An order is published prohibiting people from even keeping local unit record scores of the ACFT. When you enter the data in DTMS, it disappears and only people with special permission can pull data in aggregate.

Yes, I am sure a major factor in the order banning local leaders from keeping ACFT records was to prevent total rear end in a top hat leaders from unfairly maligning their soldiers over ACFT pilot test performance. Because the Army knows there are judgmental assholes out there who can scream at a soldier or talk shot behind their back but cannot read a basic admin messages, personnel guidance, and orders.

The Russians couldn't win there and they used CBW. I could see China trying their "we don't care that you treat women like poo poo and pray to whatever deity you like so long as we can pillage your country of all those sweet rare earths" brand of "diplomacy," though.

Taking bets on how long before occupying forces kill a worshipper in al-Aqsa, Hamas launches a rocket in response, and Israel unleashes a propaganda (and renewed bombing) campaign of "You see how those perfidious Arabs break their word‽ They hate peace as much as they hate the Jewish people!"
