Actually, that's extremely important in the international stage. It declares what responses will happen next. Including nuclear war (MAD). So it's something that needs to be said. Like I stated, in the Russian Military, it takes a Colonel. In the US, it takes Presidental approval. Our issue is that we don't have workable chemical threats. So how does that retaliation happen? A nuke? A tactical nuke? Fry Moscow? Bring about MAD? What's your pleasure?
So "how soldiers kill each other" is not up to the "soldiers." It's up to the politicians as usual. The issue with chemical warfare (as I've said several times), is that it's not the soldiers, it's the millions of civilians that will die a horrible death. The city will be left standing and unless you have a CBRNE suit, you're dead. Depending on what they use, maybe like sarin a few minutes writhing in pain as every muscle in your body contracts (literally), to hours (like trichothecenes) you're actually alive as the soft tissue dissolves in your body.
So if that doesn't matter to you, so be it. You see the small picture - I see the big one.

I never said it was up to the soldiers to decide on war - I said you see everything from the soldier's view.
And my pleasure would be to only go to war (or provide weapons for war) when it is absolutely necessary. It is not absolutely necessary for the US to be involved in the Ukraine conflict. We're only there to sell weapons.

Oh, and no - you do not even know where the big picture begins.
