According to a U.S. official, troops will be armed with their normal service weapons but will not be carrying tear gas. They also will have protective equipment such as helmets, shields and gas masks.
Reputable military never use tear gas, etc. It’s a chemical weapon, and hard to distinguish from lethal ones. So it would invite a Sarin/GB/VX response from enemy, which they don’t want.
Oh good… Glad it’s just normal guns. Wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt by tear gas…
