Before reading the following I'm going to employ something called sympathy.
Imagine that you are digging a garden in your back yard of your new home that you just bought. You find things that are very heavy so you line your side walk with these things.
People pass by and comment on your unique sidewalk ornaments.
Sometime later when your kids look into the matter of these heavy objects (after you are long gone) they find depleted uranium. Your children find depleted uranium because you didn't.
On to the reading:
73,000 dead amongst the U.S. soldiers for this scale operation using weapons of mass destruction is not high - we expect the great majority of U.S. soldiers who took part in the invasion of Iraq to die of uranium poisoning, which can take decades to kill.
From a victors perspective, above any major war in history, The Gulf War has taken the severest toll on soldiers.
More than 1,820 tons of radio active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand Hiroshima’s. The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue killing for billions of years and can wipe out more than a third of life on earth. Gulf War Veterans who have ingested the uranium will continue to die off over a number of years.
