This was your post:

I read the article and see nothing in it that would indicate a connection to depleted uranium

Which makes it obvious that you hadn't read the complete article - until of course, my last post.

Sorry friend, I read it twice before your last post. What is obvious is that you didn't read past the first sentence in my original post or you didn't understand what I was saying. My post was making the point that the only connection was being made by people with an Axe to grind, people who offered no supporting evidence that there was in fact exposure to DU. The article says both of the affected service members were in rear areas. Areas where the likelihood of exposure to DU would be slight. "Sterry figures the initial symptoms began in Saudi Arabia in September of 1991""David Leighton, of Naugatuck, a Marine who served in Saudi Arabia in Desert Storm." If this article were being honest it would give examples of where these soldiers were exposed, not just make rather vague reference to Saudi Arabia. I personally believe that they were exposed to something, but I sure don't believe it likely that something was DU, at least without any evidence of exposure.
