Default US admits use of white phosphorous against people in Iraq

I dont know much about DU,but I do believe it is dangerous to humans and
animals.I would think the DU dust does settle down onto the ground and
most everything else too and the winds do carry it far and
wide,including getting into the water.When I was in boot camp at Fort
Gordon,Georgia,we trained with the old WW II/Korea era M-1 Garand
Rifles.One day we praticed firing dummy SABOT rounds with the Rifles.An
odd looking device that fits onto the Rifles and the device holds the
SABOT rounds onto the Rifles and you have to hold those Rifles with the
SABOT rounds attached to them in a certain way or they will knock the
crap out of you.
