You can read that it is totally harmless to it will destroy the world. DU was used in the 1st Gulf War extensively, nothing like blowing up a tank hiding behind a 30ft thick sand berm. They really are quite impressive. But back then no one knew what long term effects would be. Today technology has moved on.

Meaning we know the dangers and still we use the even more frequently? The maps are for Gulf I (fig 1 & 2)

The one I saw for Gulf II covered the while river valley , if need be I might be able to find it again.

How many kids were there?

I have no idea. To me it doesn't matter, though. Anyone's soldiers should stay away from civilians of any size, and insurgents that target civilians should be tormented for life.

I'm not condoning what was done, but the cowards shouldn't be hiding behind women and children.

The only encouraging out-come to this story is the fact three US soldiers got killed.

A shame the kids were taken but hey, not a bad score when you compare the number of innocents that die vs `enemy` from US air-strikes.

There is no reason to use DU ammo now (no one using tanks against us), the technology I mentioned can bring down a building or blow up almost any bunker known to man without using DU.

"And your numbers are off. How many US soldiers were there? Lots. How many kids were killed? 3"....
:-?...Geez Anna..I don`t care how many US soldiers or school kids were there at this particular incident. Whats important is the fact that 3 US soldiers are gone...kapoot!, now allowing 30 or more children to live...perhaps long enough to celebrate a marriage ceremony?:p

Nope. But then I think that because those 10 kids may be spared is incidental to your hatred of Americans. And your numbers are off. How many US soldiers were there? Lots. How many kids were killed? 3.
