Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 DEPLETED URANIUM AND OUR TROOPS http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=99124 Posted By: JonathanSE <Send E-Mail>Tuesday, 6 February 2007, 12:06 p.m. This article made me physically sick to my stomach. I have read stories of people getting notice of agent orange 30 years after the fact, and here we are again. A video made to warn our troops of the dangers of depleted uranium but it was never shown. ( snip ) A special investigation on the effects of depleted uranium reveals the Army made a tape warning of the effects of depleted uranium which was never shown to troops despite the fact the Pentagon knew the agent to be potentially deadly, CNN reports Tuesday. Depleted uranium -- or DU -- was used in the Gulf War as a projectile that could penetrate tank armor. A group of soldiers are suing the US government because they are sick from exposure; despite the unshown video, the Army denies that depleted uranium represents a serious health risk. CNN reporter Greg Hunter explains. The soldiers "report similar ailments. Painful urination, headaches and joint pain. They say Army doctors blame their symptoms on post traumatic stress. We showed them a tape the Army made in 1995, a tape the Army never distributed. It warned of potential D.U. hazards. The army's expert on D.U. training concedes some information contained on the tape is true. For instance, radioactive particles can be harmful." http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/CNN_Agent_Orange_tame_compared_to_0206.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
