“[liquid dimethyl beryllium polymers] are extremely poisonous, and beryllium oxide, which would be one of the exhaust products if one of them were used as a fuel, is so toxic as to rule out any use in a tactical missile”
Excerpt from

John D. Clark, 1972
Note the word “tactical” above. That means the US military-industrial complex considered it OKAY to deploy this death juice in a missile where nobody was expected to survive its use anyway.
