This is a link post General swaztkopf dies at 78
mostly just about how great and good he was.
nothing about depleted uranium or gulf war syndrome .
what will the conspiracy side make of it?

This is a normal post Yes of course
he was personally responsible for putting depleted uranium in all those rounds of ammunition, and all the unexpected health issues that caused.

This is a normal post haha you fucking douche!
"unexpected health issues" from Uranium? Are you 16 years old?

Edit: Plus, do you know think if someone had a shed of humanity they would make a correct moral decision as to whether it's right or wrong to fire radio active material toward populated areas? Call me a hippy if you want!

This is a normal post Munitions are made from depleted Uranium. DEPLETED.
The health issues are real, but are due to its toxic nature as a heavy metal, not from ionising radiation. Depleted uranium is used as radioactive SHIELDING in hospitals and as ballast for boats.

This is a normal post Its health concerns are NOT unknown
otherwise why would they use them??

Plus if they were completely depleted they wouldn't be visible. All of the particles would of decayed.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium

FYI, they have 60% of the radioactivity of normal Uranium.

This is a normal post It's health concerns became known
In the Gulf War, not before.

They used them because depleted uranium is better at penetrating armour. If the health effects were the objective they'd have used highly fissile uranium or even plutonium.

Isotopes are not magically invisible.

Feel free to climb off your moral high horse any time.

This is a normal post I'm actually on my factual high horse
it's pretty fucking obvious that Uranium is bad for you which is the entire reason why it was used in the first place. Are you suggesting they accidentally discovered that it came with long term side effects? The effects of radiation poisoning have been known for a long time, way before the Gulf War.

This is a normal post I appreciate and applaud your devotion to a general anti-war stance.
But going on about this is not productive. The wiki site you provided states that depleted uranium (DU) has 60% of the radioactivity of normal, natural uranium you would find in the ground, which is virtually indistinguishable from background radiation (the level which we are exposed to all the time).

If you walked down the high street with a Geiger counter, you would be hard pressed to see any difference in the readings if you were to pass by a skip full of uranium, even less so for DU. Radioactivity is just not an issue where DU as a weapon is concerned - it was chosen entirely because it is both very dense (and thus great for slamming into armoured targets) and there are shedloads of it lying about for next to nothing thanks to the nuclear energy and weapons programs.

Yes, it is toxic - I wouldn't want to handle any without protective gear - and yes, bits of it flake off the used bullets and cause horrible diseases. But that is because of its high chemical reactivity (not radioactivity) and toxicity as a heavy metal, just like lead or mercury.

DU is a battlefield weapon for use against armoured targets. Nobody would choose a bullet for its potential to caue a slow and debilitating illness, that would be completely pointless in such a context.

This is a normal post You appear to be confused about a great many things
You do understand that radioactive elements decay into other elements, and not 'nothing' don't you?

Also you may want to work on your sarcasm detection, otherwise you'll find /links a confusing and frustrating place...

I know it well enough...


Edit: And yeah, mistake on my behalf about it disappearing completely, but it's still radioactive, that's my entire point.
