I think in time we will first acknowledge the problem wrt our own soldiers. It would be unusual if a heavy metal like this didn't cause some interesting systemic problems in a living system- and the more DU is studied, or the more soldiers who come down with illnesses unattributable to other things, the more likely it will be that DU will be implicated.

It's unfortunate that things like this take so much time to be fixed- but DU is so useful, it's no wonder that militaries around the world don't want to use other materials. DU is an excellent material for warfare. It's too bad it also happens to be dangerous to one's own soldiers, and civilians...
