The article notes that we have used about 1600 tons of deplete uranium, yes it's used in bullets which burn through armor plate. Burning uranim spreads out and cools into dust which blows around in the wind. The fact that it's not highly radioactive doesn't change the fact that if you inhale it you are far more likely to get cancer. Even our soldiers are coming back contaminated with it and fathering deformed babies. We know a lot about radiation and the effects it has on people.I'm curious why you are arguing with me when you obviously haven't even read the article. Instead or relying on Wiki for knowledge you really should look things up in REAL encyclopedias or journals.Your idea that it's far more dangerous for those using the bullets than for people near the targets shows that you don't know what you're talking about. Once the bullets have been fired and burned the uranium is spread around in an easily eaten or inhaled form, thus it is far more dangerous than when contained in magazines or ammo boxes.One does not need to be anywhere near the target to get contaminated with the uranium as it blows in the wind. So the civilians, women and children, and animals who are killed are meaningless? Can you understand why people hate the US? You haven't got the compassion of a dung beetle for the suffering of the people who have never harmed us at all. Does this attitude make you a Compassionate Conservative?
