Today,well over a million active duty,reserve and national guard troops,as well as private contractors have rotated,many for the second and third time.
During the "Shock and Awe" of 2003,tons of DU-laden weapons were used,leaving a haze of depleted uranium dust,which was inhaled by our troops,as well as Iraqis.I wrote a post,which was pretty much ignored,indicating that the VA is no longer reporting cancer cases.The VA has also suspended research into DU related birth defects.1 in 4 Iraqi babies is born with horrific birth defects.I have links,or you can google depleted uranium babies.This isn't a new disease.It's just inconceivable to me that more people aren't outraged.I am particularly curious as to how the "family values" people can remain silent about a substance that causes miscarriages,infertility,and dead babies.I'll follow up with my next LTTE,which is about the DU babies born to American soldiers.
