Can anyone say Depleted uranium?

After serving in Vietnam nearly 40 years ago — and receiving the Bronze Star for it — the Tucson soldier was called back to active duty in Iraq.
While there, he awoke one morning with a sore throat. Eighteen months later, Army Sgt. James Lauderdale was dead, of a bizarrely aggressive cancer rarely seen by the doctors who tried to treat it.
As a result, his stunned and heartbroken family has joined growing ranks of sickened and dying Iraq war vets and their families who believe exposures to toxic poisons in the war zone are behind their illnesses — mostly cancers, striking the young, taking them down with alarming speed.

You might have a hard time convincing Iraqi's in southern Iraq who are seeing the same thing from being in a war zone. Rolling Eyes

Uranium has a side effect, this is known, but yet they want us to believe that it is somehow safe to use in war, thsat it has no effect other than armour piercing rounds. OK, I say doo-doo!
