NATO air forces , from what, 19 countries? launched 38004 combat sorties, of which 10484 were strikes, hitting trains, hospitals, civilains.....yeah, that’s fair. The Serbian people never threatened or harmed one American to deserve that.....that 78 day campaign was the first time in my entire life that I was not proud of my country.

Yup - vicitms all.

IF DU made for cancer, then most of Southern Nevada would be dead by now. The USAF tested DU rounds on a range complex less than 30 miles from the heart of Las Vegas.

Thousands of rounds were fired - and at T62/T65 tanks - all of which burned for days.

I was part of the crew that wandered the desert to (gasp) pick up the DU penetrators and stack them for pickup and back haul.

And here I am (and a few buds I keep in touch with) 35 years later - cancer free and breathing.

Whine about the damage - you have a legit point. On the munitions, you do not.

And an additional FWIW, the average American could not point to Serbia on a map of Europe, let alone the world - so your cries fall on deaf, uncaring ears. Find someone else's pocket to pick.
