                     tainly above such remarks) He argues Churchill considered chemical weapon-
                     ry to be simply 'the application of Western science to military warfare' and

                     that he had approved the use of it as experiments on Afghans and Arabs.        94

                         After the First World War, David Lloyd George appointed Churchill as

                     the Secretary of State for War and Air. In May 1919, Churchill gave orders
                     for the British troops to use chemical weapons during the campaign to sub-

                     due Afghanistan.  95

                         'The 10 greatest controversies of Winston Churchill's career' as detailed
                     by BBC's website revealed how Churchill used poisonous gas against his en-

                     emies: Churchill has been criticized for advocating the use of chemical
                     weapons - primarily against Kurds and Afghans. 'I do not understand this

                     squeamishness about the use of gas', he wrote in a memo during his role as
                     minister for war and air in 1919. 'I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas

                     against uncivilised tribes' , he continued.

                         The piece continues to reveal the inhumane, sadistic character of the
                     British deep state that Churchill so well represented:



                         And it's important to note that he was in favour of using mustard gas against
                         Ottoman troops in WW1, says [Warren] Dockter [a research fellow at the Uni-

                         Sidi Bashir Prisoner Camp

                         The Ottoman Empire fought on multiple fronts during WWI and the
                     British took many Turkish soldiers as prisoners in these regions. One pris-

                     oner camp where the British kept Turkish prisoners of war was Sidi Bashir,
                     situated 15 km northeast of Alexandria, Egypt.

                         The commander of the camp was the British Lt. Col. Coates. Under the

                     supervision of the military doctor Captain Gillespie, an Armenian physician,
                     one British corporal and 5 British nurses were in charge of the prisoners'

                     health.
