From Information Clearinghouse:http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3581.htmThe training materials were intended to instruct servicemen and women about the use and hazards of depleted uranium munitions. In addition, the training regimen included instructions for soldiers who repair and recover vehicles contaminated by depleted uranium.Throughout 1996, these videos sat on a shelf, while U.S. soldiers continued to use and work with depleted uranium munitions. In June 1997, Bernard Rostker, The Department of Defense (DoD) principle spokesperson for their investigation of Gulf War hazardous exposures, stated that the depleted uranium safety training program would begin to be shared by a limited number of servicemen and women in July 1997. STILL TODAY the vast majority of servicemen and women in the U.S. military, and likely in the armed forces of other countries which are developing or have obtained depleted uranium munitions, are unaware of the use and dangers of depleted uranium munitions, or of the protective clothing and procedures which can minimize or prevent serious short-term exposures.

Jul 26, 2008 - Depleted Uranium bullets are mainly fired from A-10s. A-10s are heavy air-to-ground twin-turbine aircrafts.These planes are only used against heavy armored bunkers, heavy tanks and fortified possitions that normal .50 caliber rounds cant penetrate.Now, in these bunkers/tanks/f.positions, there were Iraqi soldiers. If there children were ok today, you or your family might have been victims of a suicide bombing.PS: Dont forget that in a war, everything is allowed.

Jul 26, 2008 - ENI7ER-turns into microscopic powder upon impact and has a half life of 4.5 billion years. So even if you shot something and ran away, somebody probably shot something where you are standing in the last 15 years and all that DU powder is still there. And, if you are in Iraq like I was, you know how that baby-powder sand blows around.

Jul 26, 2008 - You have to literally ingest DU in large quantities to have any ill effects. DS veterans who were exposed to DU when their vehicles were hit by Fratracide have DU in thier bodies still, check out VA stats on that.

Jul 26, 2008 - Yeah A-10's take lives to save lives i will be so sad when they are retired i know they saved my life
Steilhandgranate Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - In fact, more lives will be saved if the Iraqi rebels and extremists were killed and no seed of them would stay on this world. (Many will missunderstood this. Im refering only to REBELS and EXTREMISTS.)PS: Geneva sucks, as well as its convention.
Steilhandgranate Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - But thats why gas masks and protective suits are provided by the US government.And the campsites are carefully tested for radioactivity or other hazardous material.
greaerg Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - lol, depleted uranium as radiation shielding. I know it works, it just seems funny, uranium as a radiation shield.
tehmast3r3r Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - * Public Service Announcement * Most of what we know is the word of someone else. The only way to find out the facts about DU for ourselves completely is to actually join the military and use DU. And I know few if any of us will/have done that.
LatteLiberal Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Notice how its only the liberals who are getting sick from depleted uranium?
McLir Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Actually, toxic metals and radioactivity do not discriminate according to personal politics.
LatteLiberal Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Yeah but you dont hear Republicans complaining about it! Republicans stand up and take it like a man which more than what liberals do. They just whine and say "oh, look, I have a combat boo boo". People die. Get used to it. Thats part of being a man.
USMarine010 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - thats what im sayn if we can end there geen pool and there thought proscess then the world would be a better place
Steilhandgranate Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - People died, die and always will die.But dont you wanna die home, being an elder, and die near your sons or grandsons?Thats the difference.Now more and more people die thanks to Bush, Rumsfeld and Chainy.Ill translate a thread which an american proffesor passed to the Greek news.

USMarine010 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Just remember... These are the same people who told us that Radioactive Fallout was not harmful during the Atomic Bomb Tests... Just ask the Downwinders if they remember... If any of them are still alive that is...
MajorDDS Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Pertaining to the "Uranium Babies" video, don't believe everything you see; you have some far left zealots pushing an agenda.
