The amount of DU used in Iraq is equivalent to 250,000 Nagasaki bombs."

You're absolutely right. The use of depleted uranium weapons is a modern day atrocity. The U.S. military is killing it's own troops, and polluting this earth with one of the most radioactive substances in existence, which has a half life of over 4 billion years.

Yes.
I also believe they use depleted Uranium darts for tanks. So anybody who was around tank battles would inhale depleted uranium particles.

The USAF uses depleted uranium on it's A-10's.
It is possible the USA did it, and it's sick. We are killing our own.
