Whatever the case, ALL American servicepeople, including National Guard members and their families, NEED the information posted here at dU101.org. Help them educate themselves of the possible dangers associated with depleted Uranium munitions – a toxic radioactive substance with a half life of 4.5 BILLION years. Y I K E S ! |

Is Joe a Republican?
Or a Democrat? |

Should it really matter?
Depleted Uranium poisoning is non-partisan. |

Text:
Depleted Uranium (dU) munitions have been used extensively in both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan and Kosovo. When this highly effective shell hits its target, up to 70% of the dU penetrator is aerosolized producing uranium oxide dust. This radioactive microscopic dust is easily spread by the winds or disturbed on the ground by human activity. These dU particles can then be ingested by American soldiers. When inhaled, the depleted uranium particles can lodge in the lung, and bathe the surrounding tissue with alpha radiation – forever.
The facts are: dU is radioactive with a half life of 4.5 billion years. dU is a heavy metal like mercury and lead. Over 500 tons of dU have been used in the Gulf Wars. If dU enters the body, this highly toxic substance may cause chronic fatigue, leukemia, cancer, weight loss, kidney problems, respiratory problems, rashes, chest pains, joint pains, headaches, muscle aches, neurological problems, cognitive difficulties and semen contaminated with uranium causing an increase in birth defects, miscarriages, still births and infant mortality. These health issues are real and can affect our future. The military denies any connection between Gulf War Syndrome and dU. Some medical experts support their view. But many experts don’t. All agree dU is highly toxic. Educate yourself at dU101.org. Learn what we need to do to protect our troops. Before it’s too late. |

| HEY! WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? |
|
 |
|
| Part of an Army recruiting campaign, ARMY of ONE promised to build your character, strength and a sense of loyalty. But today there are soldiers at home, in a battle alone, and dying - literally Armies of One. |
|
No soldier can afford to be an army of one concerning health care.
Demand the protection you deserve. And the care you've earned. |
