GG2, I am disappointed in the flippancy of your reply. What happened to you over the years here?
The better question is how uninformed are you that you don’t know the Capstone study and studies by the World Health organization and the UN environmental program all concluded that the depleted uranium in former combat areas does not present a health risk to the population.
All poor underdeveloped countries have higher rates of everything that is bad including birth defects. Its a statistical fact that a thousand years of marrying first cousins is why the average IQ in the mideast is 81. Its also one reason for birth defects.
So enough with the DU.
