NOt according to all the medical reports I have been reading.Aersolized or Alpha particles pose the most danger these are by products of D.U.Shells
Just as listed in Armchairs article the Dust is far more invasive and problematic than handling the Uranium itself ...even with that said based on your theory then actually handling the shells before and during a firefight would be just as harmful, or in your theories case ,MORE harmful as its being handled in its hardened form?
there are wide reports of soldiers that have gotten ill, gotten rashes etc. from exactly that just handling the hardened shells even here at home
The dangers of D.U. are well documented..
Do all people exposed to DU suffer the same illness or consequences? at this time it would be said No because some people have ingested large amounts of the alpha particles and presented Uranium in theyre sytem without complication or illness
Is this reason enough to dismiss the multitude of OTHER issue being presented.......absolutly NOT
this is an issue that will haunt the world for years
many areas have uranuium in the water tables now and many contries Uranium is present in animals
to use word of yours there is a growing body of evidence that suggests D.U> is causing a worldwide calamity as the federal govt tries to deny its danger
and to dave yeah you told us of 20 men who didnt get ill i presented you a story of 100 men 30 died and the rest are ill,after DU clean-ups
As well there are the numbers i reported to you concerning American soldiers deaths and illness from Gulf war 1 who most attribute to the widespread use of TONS of DU weapons
Just 467 US personnel were wounded in the three-week Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991. Out of 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are dead, and by 2000 there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability.
