Some ordnance, and some armor is made of DU!

What can occur when that stuff goes up in flames......the military isn't telling, so far.

I wonder if these soldiers were buying cigs from the Iraqis...The troops have been ordered not to buy from them...my hubby caught several of his troopers doing this at the fence of his base and confiscated them....

That's probably the cause. A bedouin sneezes on one of our guys, and it could cause an epidemic.
