Reply #14: Tungsten. You know the penetrator used in MBT before DU [View All]

still some in Knox and Bragg when I left there in 90's. DU is a political topic, not a medical issue. Its effects are known, like lead, and OP chemicals. That was the new evil weapon.

The claim was 1 in 4 children with birth defects, that rate far exceeds that around chernobyl in the ukraine. Its bunk.

How the VA treats sick vets is a different topic, exposure to OP chemicals in GW1, petroleum products, and potentially antidotes for sarin (or binary chemicals that make up sarin) are far more concerning.

There have been no cancer spikes in Bosnia or in Kuwait where we used LARGE amounts of DU. The evidence it extensive.
