    So youre telling us there’s an even more deadly aspect than the radiation, and youre still defending this like your life depends on it, huh?

    I thought liberals had a rule against bending science to fit political agendas. Guess that’s another lie you tell yourselves

      Depleted Uranium isn’t radioactive, really. U-238, stripped of all the U-235 (hence, depleted) is incredibly stable. While it is technically radioactive, it barely registers. So maybe learn what you’re talking about?
