From a religious standpoint can any share their comments on the use of depleted Uranium?


DEATHSTAR II

DEPLETED URANIUM

There is more than one thing going on - making earth the 'death star'.

The United States has sold DU weapons to 29 countries

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated in August 2004 that over 518,000 Gulf-era veterans
(14-year period) are now on medical disability, and that 7,039 were wounded on the battlefield
In that same period. Over 500,000 U.S. veterans are homeless.



Just 467 U.S. personnel were wounded in the three-week Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991. Out of 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are dead, and by 2000 there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of disabled vets means that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served now have medical problems.

The number of disabled vets reported up to 2000 has been increasing by 43,000 every year. Brad Flohr of the Department of Veterans Affairs

i don't see it as a sign of anything but greed and lust for power. depleted uranium is a dangerous weapon that no one should be using. especially in bullets.

The only relation to religion that I can see is your apparent suggestion that many of these disabled vets were damaged by depleted uranium. That would suggest that the government acted irresponsibly and risked the soldiers' health. Still, that's a moral or ethical (and of course political) question which may or may not be perceived as religious.

Or are you one of those who figure that atheists have no morals or ethics?

I say use it. The radioactive content fabric of a depleted uranium/tungsten around (which includes that utilized by potential of the M1A1, Challenger and Leapord Tanks, besides through fact the weapons used on the A-10 Warthog and AH-sixty 4 Apache) is regarding the comparable (

I was unaware of the use of depleted Uranium but i checked it out I am appalled that we would consider using this awful monster knowing it's affect on people.

Theologically it shows that USA is more a beast than the lamb beast it once was at it's conception. The present US policy could very well unite both religious monsters such as catholicism with American political agendas and hence bring a resurrection of the Beast of Revelation.

books such as Conflict of Ages series the Great controversy by E White suggest suggest things in the time of the end.

You will hear of wars and rumors of war, this was told as a sign of the beginning of the end of times. There has never been a time without war going on somewhere in all of my lifetime, be it actual war or cold wars.

With war their is consequences that the human race faces every day more so the veterans. Life gives you signs every day, war is the enemy of mankind because of it we are unable to reach our full potentials, for it is fueled by greed and control over the human race.

We always pray for peace to come of our own choice and will as a human race, to put an end to the poverty and deprevations of basic human rights war causes. If we don't do it, it will be done for us, and we are responsible for one another's behavior towards each other and so far as a race, we humans aren't even getting an F. But we keep praying and hoping and watching to see who will make the difference if they choose to right the way government is established world wide, not by force but by conscious agreement of the way things should be by all.

Until then, there will be war, we as a populous have to rise and vote for whom we want and educate ourselves enough to know what the impact of a certain vote will do. We are letting influences of past ethics govern us still today, some people vote a certain way merely because their parents did. This is wrong the first thing as adults we should be educated enough to learn the differences between the parties involved and before we go to the poles pose questions about the candidates stance on war, world poverty, homelessness, veterans benefits and so on. This way we would make an educated vote instead of a personal one.

What has this got to do with religion?
Am I supposed to say that I don't believe in using depleted Uranium?

It is a sign that you are good at copy/paste but very poor at math and critical thinking. How about a first-generation link or two to back up your web misinformation?

DU is also used as a counter balance in Boeing's tails!

I don't see any connection to religion, and the numbers you quote do not make any sense, unless of course, you are mixing data and wishful thinking.
