Veterans (VA) health problems for newly returning soldiers, has anyone found reason to believe unfair treatmnt

There are no significant health risk noted in the studies previously performed on persons exposed to, DU. The studies by Sandia on Gulf War Veterans, showed no significant results. A study on persons in Amsterdam exposed following an aircraft crash with DU counterbalance, showed no significant results.

DU emits alpha particles which can be stopped by paper and only travel a few centimeters from the source. Constant battlefield exposure to DU would give you less alpha particle intake daily than living in the Northeast US and drinking the water.

Ingestion of, or wounding with, large amounts of DU might have some health care effects, but then you get more radiation exposure from the xrays looking for the scrapnel.

I was active duty military till I retired due to injuries in a conflict, I saw numerous patients while assigned to Ft Hood, (with the Abrams, Bradleys and Divarty) and Ft Sill (with the artillery school) I also did physical examinations on large numbers of soldiers returning from the Gulf. Never did I see anyone with problems which we could not find a cause for and we never suspected DU. I also drove, and fired the Abrams so have experience with the battlefield exposure of the soldiers working with DU.

They don't give you any creedence at the VA because there is no evidence that DU has ever cause any significant problems.

Try going in to the VA and just telling them which problems you are having, let them ask the questions, and make the diagnosis, and leave out the "Oliver Stone" type conspiracy about the DU causing every problem in your life.
