Polish soldiers and the legacy of Depleted Uranium. [30]
Polands soldiers who are now serving in the Middle East are being exposed to depleted uranium contamination. This is a highly dangerous situation that these people are being exposed to. Some of the known effects are....
Birth defects from the children of Gulf war vets which would break a heart of stone: babies with terribly foreshortened limbs, with their intestines outside their bodies, with huge bulging tumors where their eyes should be, or with a single eye-like Cyclops, or without eyes, or without limbs, and even without heads. Significantly, some of the defects are almost unknown outside textbooks showing the babies born near A-bomb test sites in the Pacific.
Also over 200,000 US troops who have returned from the 1991 war are now invalided out with ailments officially attributed to service in Iraq-that's 1 in 3. In contrast, the British government's failure to fully assess the health of returning troops, or to monitor their health, means no one even knows how many have died or become gravely ill since their return.
So I ask. Is it right that Poland's soldiers should continue to be exposed to this radiaton?
