Married U.S. Forces in South Korea Required to Have Chemical Masks for Kids
Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Just in time for Christmas … the Infant-Child Chemical Agent Protection System! But it’s not sold in stores, and is only available for children of military parents stationed in South Korea. That’s because the United States is still worried about a chemical attack from North Korea, making it a requirement for all personnel to have gear to protect against harmful agents. The new child-friendly masks, which resemble a space suit, are said to be an improvement over the old “creepy” ones which were described as little more than a plastic bag pulled over a child’s head.
