A lot of people that fought in the first gulf war came back with what was called Gulf war syndrome. It's basically radiation sickness caused by ezposure to radiation. The radiation was caused by the US military's use of depleted uranium artillery shells in tanks. Depleted uranium is a toxic waste byproduct of the uranium enrichment process for manufacturing nuclear weapons. Uranium is an incredibly dense material and when it is fired from a tank it becomes a socalled kinetic energy weapon that blew through iraq's soviet tanks and melted on contact. the uranium vapor & scrapnel or whatever goes in the air of the explosion site, and creates an area that's radioactive for 10s of thousands of years. everywhere where these shells were fired became a toxic waste dump, and so if any of our own troops came into contact with this stuff they'd be exposed to radiation. Statistics showed that thousands of troops got this gulf war sickness and developed all sorts of cancers, after returning to the states, and a lot of them died from it. The government denies any accountabliity, because if they did accept responsibility, they'd have a huge legal issue with dealing with the vets, they would lose the ability to use this really destructive weapon, and the weapons manufacturers would have to dispose of depleted uranium in a responsible manner.
And what do the fascists say to the people that support the vets?
