Of the 580,400 soldiers who served in the first Gulf War 11,000 are now dead and as of the year 2000 325,000 veterans are on permanent medical disability
By Bob Nichols
Terry Jamison, Public Affairs Specialist, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Department of Veterans Affairs, at the VA Central Office, recently reported that Gulf Era Veterans’ now on medical disability, since 1991, number 518,739 veterans, said Berklau. The long-term effects have revealed that DU (uranium oxide) is a virtual death sentence, stated Berklau. Marion Fulk, a nuclear physical chemist, who retired from the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, and was also involved with the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignancies in the soldiers (from the 2003 Iraq War) as spectacular and a matter of concern!’ When asked if the main purpose of using DU was for destroying things and killing people, Fulk was more specific: I would say it is the perfect weapon for killing lots of people!

Considering the tons of depleted uranium used by the U.S., the Iraq war can truly be called a nuclear war.
