The USA didn't use chemical weapons. They used napalm, which, although chemical in nature, was ignited to cause rapid chemical reactions which burned the victims alive, which is much more civilized than chemical weapons which poison people or damage their lung membranes.
The USA also had phosphorous weapons, which although chemical in nature, stuck to skin and burned people from the outside in, which again is much more moral than using chemical weapons which soak into skin and disrupt nerve function, killing and injuring from the inside to the outside.
Nuclear weapons are also immoral now, though they were moral in 1945 when used to fry alive, blast to fragments, shred with neutrons and otherwise dismember children, women and men in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It's also poor form to use germs [bacteria, fungi, viruses, worms, parasites etc] to eat people. It's okay to use dogs to chew on them.
It's important to get the morality and ethics of techniques in killing and injuring people just right.
Shooting holes in people with lead, depleted uranium or other materials is fine, manly and also a lot of fun. Sniper clubs in the USA are all for it [though they consider the current sniper activity to be outlandish].
