Chemical weapons weren’t banned because they were indiscriminate. They were banned because often they didn’t kill, but would maim. To the state, that is far worse than having their soldiers killed because it means they have a bunch of soldiers who cant work because of severe disability. Which creates a whole heap of social and/or economic problems down the line. It’s much better to the state if they can just write a check for 10k quid or whatever to the next of kin
