This is something that can be treated, right? I mean, this isn't something that will cause permanent damage to them or their offspring is it? |
But he found no trace of the depleted uranium (DU) some scientists believe is implicated in Gulf War syndrome." It's not the DU, it's got to be something else |
So, either there's some new weapon that uses uranium that we are using that we aren't admitting to, or something really weird is going on. Perhaps we already have low-yield nukes and used them in Afghanistan? And the whole recent introduction of legislation to allow the development of low-yield nukes is just a cover to get it approved before this comes out? Plus, my best friend is stationed over there. What's going to happen to him? |
I know there was a lot of talk about using them, but had not heard about a final decision. I have no idea if we did or not. I hope to hell not |
Another thing that bugs me.....if it isn't the DU thing....do these people and our Gulf War vets and all kinds of other people have something we don't know about as a direct result of these weapons? Are we taking responsibility for the damage that these things cause, to the people who didn't do anything wrong, the people fighting for what they believe right, etc.? Would we even know what we were doing if we did? Am I in a total flu inspired brain fuzz? |
eri, that is a sticky subject. Morally, we should be. Legally? Historically? No. Per the Geneva convention, the cost of rebuilding a nation after a war lies on the shoulders of the defeated nation. The conquering nation has a responsibility of occupying a conquered nation and facilitating the rebuilding effort at the expense of the conquered. IE, US & Britain rebuilding Iraq using Iraqi Oil. This is not some high-minded scheme, it is actually international law. We also occupied Japan for 7 years and Germany for 5 before the new government was finally stood up and the economy returned to normal. |
