“The U.S. has used DU ammunition in our wars and no major ill effects have been noted!“
The health impacts of exposure to DU are very well documented… claiming no major ill effects from exposed to it is just not true.

Here is what our VA says with 25 years of study, including of vets who have pieces inside them.
“VA has been conducting a surveillance program for Gulf War Veterans exposed to DU through “friendly fire” incidents for more than 25 years. Some Veterans enrolled in this program have ongoing DU exposure resulting from DU fragments embedded in their bodies. It is important to note that, to date, no health effects related to DU exposure have been found. Nevertheless, the potential for long-term effects remains, and this group continues to be under surveillance.”
