Depleted Uranium Munitions

I wouldn't say its a WMD per say, but once it starts effecting a population that has nothing to do with the conflict other than living in the area, then there's something wrong happening. Especially when you are trying to make the population friendly towards you for the most part.

Also, I think maybe expanding the poll choices to include other possible points might do the poll more justice?

Just my $0.02.

I say there's only one thing we can do...

More nukes.

I personally can't think of one, unfortunately.

no worries Ruski, I got your back

Only thing I have to say is...

Why are we using depleted uranium against soft targets? That's complete overkill.

I'm with Rasq. Depleted uranium rounds are for taking out armored targets.

But they also give the many DU equipped mounted guns the ability to penetrate any cover, and could possibly be used by the abrams for this reason as well. DU is also used by many combat support aircraft to provide more effective air support, and is a key armor layer of all recent abrams tanks.

What do we have to suggest that depleted uranium is what caused the birth defects though? Are there figures that show it is increasing? I'm sure it isn't the only possible cause...

I think they should worry about the thousands of landmines around the country before worry about spent ammo that MAY make their shit swim weird.



Doesn't matter how your kids come out if they step on a mine at 4.
