radiation asside it's a highly toxic heavy metal yes it will cause health defects
So what's the difference between lead, tungsten, and depleted uranium? They all cause cancer and other symptoms, and both tungsten and depleted uranium must be decontaminated if the tank carrying them is destroyed.
And from what I've read you will die of the toxicity before you will die of the radiation.
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?
Read it again. Keyword "toxicity". No patience for you flipflopping around points like this
Your comment specifically said, "you're telling us there's an even more deadly aspect than the radiation" so I'm not sure what you're on about my guy.
