why not? war is to out smart the enemy, and out power them. yeah bullets can hurt, but you have to be within shooting distance for that. A nerve agent can kill from thousands of miles away. same reason we would use nukes as a posed to other bombs or missiles. its just the smarter way to do things.

imagine you have to bust into a house with half a dozen enemy solders inside waiting for you. would you just walk in and ask them to put down there guns or would you surprise them with a smoke/irritant grenade then charge in and suppress them?

over all, its the smarter enemy that wins and thats how its always been.
