Logic Puzzle #26

From Billy-B's legendary 1001 Puzzle Collection — preserved on Puzz.com since 1998.

Puzzle #26
Three men enter a room filled with gas wearing gas masks. The men voluntarily remove their masks, & begin coughing heavily because of the gas. They do not put their masks back on. The men are not suicidal, so why did they do this?
Reveal Answer
This is a regular training exercise for recruits in basic training for the U.S. Army — I understand that some other branches of the military also practice this type of exercise. The gas is tear gas, & does no permanent damage, as far as I know.
