399. Move along, no generational genocide here...
Another Mother asks, Why?
Soldier's tortuous death blamed on exposure to DU

By Stephanie Hiller

<snip>
Slowly she began asking questions. Whenever she asked doctors why this was happening to her healthy son, doctors always said the same thing. "Bad luck."

All the patients were told the same thing, Lori said. "They were all military doctors. They're on the same playing field."

But it appeared that Dustin's cancer cells had different characteristics from other cancers. When Lori's father asked the head oncologist if this were the case, he said no; but another oncologist on the team said yes. These are different types of cancer

Her caseworker seemed touched by the anguish of Dustin's case. She said she had seen an article about depleted uranium. She suggested Lori do some research on the computer.

"But Dustin's situation was so volatile, I just couldn't find the time."

Later a nurse in the ICU asked Lori, "are you satisfied with Dustin's diagnosis?"

"I said No!"

She told Lori to look into depleted uranium.

"I asked her, Have you looked into it?"

She didn't reply.

"You don't have to tell me," Lori told her, "I can tell from your eyes."

"Dustin isn't the first," said the nurse, "and he won't be the last."
