Thank you for your service.

Do you recall a controversy over ammunition coated with depleted uranium that supposedly hardened the ammo enough to penetrate heavy armor such as tanks?

I seem to recall some debate about whether such ammo might cause cancer or other illness, but I don’t remember the specifics or the outcome of the debate and I’m not sure if I’ve stated the details correctly.

I don't recall hearing about the ammo until I was out of the Persian Gulf. No one over there that I worked with was talking about uranium depleted rounds.

I learned about it long after the war...
