U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Training film
(with edits)
What hath we wrought?
Depleted Uranium, affectionately known as DU is a carcinogenic heavy metal material that also emits alpha and gamma radiation.
Outside the body it's not too serious but inside the body it caused cancer and genetic birth defects in offspring.
The symptoms of DU poisoning vary depending on what internal organ is affected. It can never be cured and DU will last in the environment for eternity.
It is a waste material of the Nuke industry and in the battlefield it becomes aerosolized and thus its deadly dust particles become a permanent part of the world's environment. It cannot be cleaned from the environment--ever!
Its use is unconscious able and a crime against all humanity.
The U.S. is currently producing it by the railcar load everyday and shipping throughout the world.

Doesn't seem like WMD to me.
Anonymous,
One thing I have always laughed when it comes to the American Military films, is how they down play what they are actually doing.
Depleted Uranium actually so far, has caused everything from Cancer to extreme forms of birth defects in babies. The extent of exposure to what other forms of poisoning may not be known in the long term, it may very well be a wait and see like Agent Orange exposure to the men that came back from Vietnam or those in Japan that still has illnesses from the atomic bombs that was dropped on them from World War 2.
One thing about Depleted Uranium, it does not dissipate as other weapons may do. The life span may last as long as the earth exists.
This does classify it as a WMD this has been proven.
