BTW, there are periodic claims of injury to US soldiers.

I worked with a Gulf War 1 tanker, it took 15-20 years for him to be fully debilitated. The VA admitted no guilt, but granted him lifetime medical treatment and full disability payments. He no longer works.
Many Gulf War vets ( non tankers) are in the same boat- presumably by breathing in the DU dust near tank engagements. $6,000 a month disability payments and benefits is a lot of money but not when you suffer every day of your shortened life.
Here is what our VA says.
“VA has been conducting a surveillance program for Gulf War Veterans exposed to DU through “friendly fire” incidents for more than 25 years. Some Veterans enrolled in this program have ongoing DU exposure resulting from DU fragments embedded in their bodies. It is important to note that, to date, no health effects related to DU exposure have been found. Nevertheless, the potential for long-term effects remains, and this group continues to be under surveillance.”
