60 Minutes. We've got the nerve
Description
It's a vicious Catch 22 --- a war to rid the world of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction could trigger the use of those weapons against American troops, reports CBS News Correspondent David Martin. Iraq's dictator has huge stockpiles of chemical agents like Sarin and VX, by some estimates enough to kill every single person in the world. Are American soldiers prepared to protect themselves against this most horrendous of weapons? To find out, we went to a heavily guarded U.S. Army base where the motto "We've Got the Nerve" takes on a whole new meaning. It's the only place in America where soldiers are routinely exposed to deadly nerve agents.
