I don’t know what you’re inferring. As far as I know the only weapons containing depleted uranium was used by A-10s and shells from M1A1 tanks. The 82nd are lightly armed paratroopers.

I am not inferring the 82nd airborne used Depleted Uranium. I am stating that the United States military utilized Depleted Uranium (remember Gulf War Syndrome in US troops?) and this has caused elevated numbers of cancers, birth defects, and other diseases in Iraq.

I mentioned @fdefects on Twitter as that is a site I follow on Twitter which chronicles the continuing effects of the exposure to radiation, and the suffering it still causes. I follow it because it reminds me of the continuing horror of a war predicated on lies about WMD’s.

I follow it because my Country has continued its use of DU in Syria, and I am sure there are those frothing at the mouth to use such weapons in Iran.
