Speaking as a person whose nephew received support from the US Government, and the government put him thru college, his father was a Vietnam Vet, subjected to agent orange. Tom died of brain cancer, first cause of death, followed by second cause of death secondary tumor in the lungs. I'm sure he would have preferred living.
That is a shocking video Glennoid. I'm not sure I should have watched it. DU is a war crime, hadn't thought of it like that until now, except for the fact that I've read that it's half life is 500,000,000 that is 500 million years!
I always wondered why we didn't load up the nuclear waste onto barges attached to a Space shuttle and launch it into the moon for disposal. It is a fact that Nevada doesn't want it, and every other state is of the NIMBY mode. If people knew the highways where this stuff travels, they would be appalled and concerned also. Looks like we have figured out a new way to transport and rid ourselves DU, to a point. Who is profiting Dupont, Lockheed Martin, I have not one clue.
