"I'm ex-Navy, but I've always had high interest in all things military. From infantry to satellites. In the early weeks of the Iraq campaign many Bradley crew were stunned when they shot at T-72's to distract them (so that an Abrams could come from a direction they weren't looking) and the tanks blew up. When they examined the wreckage they found the AP rounds had cleanly pierced the hull/turret sides at ranges that had no effect on T-55/62 tanks. With a T-72 the ammo is stored in the bottom under a grate, so the burning depleted-uranium fragments just needed gravity to finish the job."
Quite interesting. I was never in the service but have read fairly extensively in military history. I'm a little weak on current and recent weaponry though, did more reading about the Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam, World War II, etc.

As hot as this story is I doubt if anyone in the Pentagon would leak even if they are a Clintonista. If you leak on this story and are caught you will lose your job and retirement at best and possibly prosecuted.
I believe that Reuters made the whole damn report up and attributed it to a "pentagon source." I do not believe them.
