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?

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.
