What do you know about our use of depleted uranium weapons and what do you think about this use?

Question

thanks for the link, zardoz..I am very informed about du and its horror.

I haven't been on Reese for a whole and see on the link you gave that just this week, they discovered a computer virus can be inserted in Diebold votig machines.

I'm real into vote fraud and like the brad blod where the story is. Your link informed me on this very, new development. I just hope more people get informed on the insecurity of our voting machines.

Answer 1

These armaments have presented a health hazard to our own soldiers and as usual the military was trying to cover it up!
Meanwhile the returning soldiers continue to have unuasual and unexplained maladys. So they are banning together for a lawsuit.
Its a damn shame -putting your life on the line and being denied all
claims as if its an all in "your head" kind of thing. There just is no justice! A traitor if you dont go - and a tradegy if you do (but not by the hand of the enemy).It wouldnt surprise me that in the future the government will be found guilty of running a study to see what the impact will be after adapting this new technology. And our guys and the civilian population of Iraq are the guinea pigs!

Answer 2

Depleted uranium rounds are harder than steel, they are used mainly in large guns, 20mm and above in anti-equipment roles. The most common use in in the Close in weapon support system (CWISS) or Phalanx system. Depleted uranium rounds are not issued to any weapon for troops combat roles. Those are full metal jacket (copper coated) ball rounds. From experience on a ship, when ever the Phalanx system was tested using live ammunition, it was announced on 1MC not to pick up or handle the casings.

Answer 3

when I was in my secondary school years. i remembered my teacher told me that uranium, neptunium, plutonium, einsteinium, and other both nature and man-made elements are classified as radioactive elements. they're emitting alpha particles, beta, gamma, x-rays, infrared, cosmic uncontrollably. instantaneous emission was their inevitable way to achieve nuclear stability among its constituents in the nucleus. and uranium, as my teacher has said had been like this since the formation of the earth. though it takes alot of time for them to disintegrate, obviously they cannot be restored.

the weapons involving such elements will of course suffer the same consequence. and i think thats better so that they can no longer use such deadly and rare substances.

Answer 4

Depleted uranium has been used against middle east countries including Iraq and Lebanon.

This is unconscionable, and should be considered breaking nuclear ban treaties.

Answer 5

depleted uranium tipped ammunition sprawls on impact therefore the bullet doesn't go through as many walls,cars,etc...
