Yes. Jump off the "I'm Soooo Scared" bandwagon. The health hazzard is in the dust (and not as severe or as persistent as the scared ones pump themselves up to believe), but no worse than all the heavy metals non-DU ammo is made from. A battlefield is not an environmentally friendly place.
Ya, I get that... And I'm not afraid, I'm not exposed anyway.
And yes, battlefields are inherently dangerous places...
But, who am I to try and convince you that poison will kill you... Go ahead, keep using the stuff, and when you are blind by 35 and pissing and ***ing blood, hardly able to get out of bed without medical help, well, think back to when you were told that depleted uranium is still highly toxic... And more toxic than typical lead rounds.
(of course I mean for the user, naturally the targets are intended to die).
And keep in mind, it's not what you are exposed to, it's how much is ingested that causes the real problems.
But no, let's just trust the government telling you that DU is comparable to lead... Again, I don't care so much since for myself, it doesn't concern me... But it does concern me in that I want all our soldiers to serve honorably and then return to live a long and healthy life, the same I wish to most.
But like I said, who am I to tell you to not use a highly effective ammunition, even if you'd rather remain in denial that it's a two way weapon... One way immediate, the other a slow kill.
