Can anyone speak to the use of Depleted Uranium shells in the gulf by American forces? What real long-term effects they cause to person and property? Fascinating subject not often spoken of...that I have little intel on.

Many thanks,

There will be hundreds of nuclear strikes. Prevailing wind blows eastward. Only hope is someone on the West Coast or Hawaii. Otherwise, protective gear until it blows by is going to be necessary.

YEAH! MOPP gear 24/7 for life... Shout out to my brothers and sisters who had to wear that sh!t in Desert Storm I for DAYS...
Plus Hawaii gets hammered. The VLF transmitter complex on Kauai, and Oahu...The fleet, the manpower. Sleepy Joe has no clue what's rolling over him...

Hawaii was always a total write off since the early days of nuke warfare - with its strategic location and military significance there won't be much left except a few of the small islands ....

with all the nuke tipped cruise missiles all the US coastlines for 100s of miles inland will be primary hit - good chance the seaports will get absolutely moon cratered - cargo smuggled in nuke devices or nuke munitions off naval ships - Russia supposedly has some kind of tsunami wave creation system devised ....

even if the US doesn't get hit but there's nuke action in the Asian Rim - the West Coast gets the radiation from it - Japan's reactor problem showed up after a month or so of drift - how much the US gets from the high altitude drift will depend on the conditions - but the Rockies & Sierras will do some filtering ....
 
If either Russia or China were to attack us, treaty or no treaty, the other would also attack us. Perhaps they would attack both us and whatever party originally nuked us. That way they would come out as the dominant power.

I have to say this is all looking more and more like Orwell's Oceania, Eurasia and East Asia.
 
With how touchy the world is getting, a group of school kids could trigger the next war with little effort. Everyone needs to chill out and stop fixating on the fear of who is likely to do what because our own paranoia could be our biggest downfall. Mutually assured destruction, let's hope everyone remembers what that means and what those two little firecrackers did to Japan. Nobody wants that, not even the enemy.

The depleted uranium is already starting to show its head in the slowly trickling in of small reports of the radioactive poisoning in the Iraq and Afghan areas of use. Anywhere the wind blows dust from the refuse of these projectiles is going to produce the inhaling of the crap and will lead to a slow and ugly death, just as in the slow deaths of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, Chernobyl or in Japan after the tsunami at the Atomic powerplant...
The fact that the birth defects and radioactive poisoning only shows up after a generation or at least when measured in years, is usually gas-lighted down sadly to "collateral damage" or at least to a normal level of "natural defects"...
The idea of the ammo is to destroy heavy tanks, but is wrongfully used against buildings, gatherings of enemy soldiers and even gas and diesel filled vehicles but sadly again, it has been used in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia and who knows where else...Gary
PS: from a US site in the internet:
When DU rounds are loaded in A-10s, they are combined with a lesser amount of non-DU high-explosive incendiary (HEI) rounds, amounting to a “combat mix.” In November 2015, a total of 6,320 rounds of the mix were used in Syria: According to Centcom, 1,790 30 mm rounds — including 1,490 with DU — were fired on Nov. 16; on Nov. 22, 4,530 rounds of combat mix were fired containing 3,775 DU armor-piercing munitions. Though DU rounds have been fired in other theaters — including the Balkans — much of the attention centers on Iraq, where an estimated 1 million rounds were shot during the first Gulf War and the 2003 invasion.

PPS: there are also idiots claiming otherwise so the Gov't does not have to pay any retirement to those soldiers or civilians who have had, will have or do have negative effects from the DU munitions:

the A10 warthogs were ground support attack aircraft - there are no "wrongly used" targets when the US Marines and Army request assist - I'll take a whole f___ing Iraq town of 2 headed freaks over one dead American any day ....

worry more about the environmental damage Saadam did releasing oil into the Gulf, setting fires to the oilfields and spreading chemical weapon all over the damn ME - not counting the 3 separate wars he started

Fallout Pattern Map for US -FEMA1990.jpg

According to this 30-year-old map, we, chose our location pretty darn well (a year before this 1990 map came out.) Of course cities have grown, so the targets have changed some as well. We make rad training part of our regular fare but awareness of other people's reactions to their phones and maybe TV may be the first clue something is happening. Everyone knows to be calm and move quickly if those around them start panicking.
It may not make any difference, but all family members carry a RADTriage PRD for their wallet, purse, or backpack. (Note: The RADTriage has to be replaced after exposure to radiation.)
If they think it looks like they've been exposed to radiation, every family member carries one Potassium Iodide Tablet in foil that they can pop in their mouth on the way to shelter.
Optionally, each family head can get a decent device, something like a RADEX RD1503+ or RADEX RD1212-BT that members usually keep in their cars but some keep on their person.
For the facility itself, we have a couple AccuRad PRDs for serious measurement and detection.

If you're near a direct hit, there's not much anyone can do, but if you're in a fallout zone with good shelter and supplies, we may all be talking via radio someday!

No comment necessary, I am the fourth generation of soldiers, my nephews are the fifth...
Two things...I was only representing the facts of the question for erqueen. Secondly, we all know that America was for two hundred and fifty years the dreamland of millions of persons around the world and second to none for promising success to those who came, BUT, we also all know that if you piss off enough people, they will not only come to hate America; they will hate each and every American citizen, building, company and entity.

Hench, we now have a world filled of hating people, the arabs hate infidels and especially jews, the sikhs the hindu, the chinese ccp anyone in their way, the unkrainien folk against the russians, the serbs against the old croatians and bosnians, the french hate everybody and I hate mcdonalds...

We must learn from our lessons, make war ONLY where needed and most importantly: if you make your enemy hate you, your children will be forced to fight the next generation of children from your enemy and it will never end. Defeating an enemy is enough, destroying their future is not an option or a desired effect.
Every culture has the right to exist and we are fighting the entire middle east at the moment since they believe our nation no longer has the right to exist. We are only 7% of the worlds population in America. We use over 40% of the worlds energy and china is closing the gap fast, as is India.
Maybe a third thing, I would defend all innocents against all evil persons and actions, as I have done before. If an american soldier shoots at me or mine, he will feel the full anger and fury of an ex-soldier who is definitely NOT WOKE...live free, Gary

”FEMA released the locations of the most likely military targets in the U.S. for Soviet nuclear ICBM’s along with the resulting levels of radioactive fallout. It’s fair to assume that these same areas are still likely targets today by nuclear nations hostile to the U.S.”


Below is a better map with the Legend…

The reality is none of us are safe. The enemy could decide not to hit near where you are. Or our military could stop the one targeted for that area. Or it could be a nation like NK and they could substantially miss their targets.
