By treaty, during the 20th century, chemical/biological weapons were banned (Restricted); During the Vietnam War, the US reserved the right of "First Strike" with nuclear weapons; the US reserved the right to retaliate with chemical weapons; the US would NOT use biological weapons.

The biggest problem facing US Forces in Vietnam, was we didn't want the communists to "Up the Ante." If we used CS gas, then they might say, "well it wasn't really CS, it was some other illegal chemical weapon, so we're gonna use ...this on you...". And the Soviets (Russians) had plenty of chemical weapons to distribute to their North Vietnamese ally.
