    You might as well point out that all rocks are radioactive. alpha and beta radiation are inconsequential.

    Those are only toxic if you ingest them, ie you eat/drink them of if you have an open wound. They can't even go through skin.

    You sure you are a teacher?

    Alpha and Beta radiation is incredible dangerous when an object is injected. Be it dust particles breathed into the lungs or into the mouth.

    When you use depleted uranium as ammo, it creates dust when hitting the target. The dust is ingested by humans. Iraq today has worlds highest rate of leukemia amd birth defects.

    But hey who cares? You poisoned entire Vietnam with Agent Orange. For you thats collateral damage.

    German tank cannons use tungsten ammo.

    Germany has a very complex and multi layer education system.
    The apprenticeship system has nothing to do with going to college. You learn a trade. Most people who chose trade will never go to college.
    Some people in the US go to college to learn a trade.
    Kids with high school have 3 choices, trade, college or university.
    Kids with 10 years of school have one choice, trade and maybe after wards college.
    Highschool is 13 years of school.

    Tungsten is old tech. It was used in WW2.

    Beside that DU is pyrophoric while tungsten isn't. This mean that beside penetrating it also set stuff on fire. It also keep its shape longer during penetration.

    As mentionned on the net:

    "In order to reach sufficient ductility in the penetrator not to break up on initial impact, both DU and tungsten have to be alloyed. Whereas DU only needs up to 1 wt% of alloying elements (all with a lower density than DU), tungsten needs up to 10 wt% of alloying elements (this is also why contrary to DU projectiles, we normally do not speak of tungsten projectiles, but of WHA projectiles, meaning tungsten heavy alloys, to clearly distinguish these materials from pure W). Due to this, even if pure tungsten is denser than pure DU, the final tungsten alloys used in penetrators are less dense than their DU counterparts. This has a double advantage in that for a given rod dimension the DU rod penetrates more (see the hydrodynamic penetration equation for an explanation of the effect), but also retains it velocity better at greater distances."

    Tungsten is not radioactive. We could use depleted uranium but chose against it. Its poison, radioactive and hurts your own personal as well as civilians. If you go by your logic, Plutonium would be even better than depleted uranium.

    what part of "depleted" uranium aren't you understanding?
    IN war the goal is to kill the enemy, not plan for it's future. If you're afraid of DU poisonning, than maybe you should think twice about getting in a shooting war with any of the following countries:

    Oh, you're part of URENCO btw and have about 16000 tonnes of the stuff combined.

    They are homeless by choice. All you must do is to go to welfare office, sign some papers and you get a flat paid by the state.

    You have vermin in all nations. I would make fertilizer from them but thats not political correct now.

    But its nowhere your level.

    It also injures your own staff. We see it as not safe to use. If a soldier or german civilian gets ill from it, he could sue the military for millions.

    And the Soviet Union tried to keep up with the so called nuclear missile and freak, and because of that they went broke. Today the idiots in 'Think-tank-stan' are trying to do the same thing to the Russian Federation, but guess what? Russia is not the one going broke, we are.

    Can you involuntarily institutionalize your homeless with psychological disorders?

    Yes, they were found, AND they have been cited for you. You never even clicked on the links. You're just plugging your ears and yelling "NO!!!!" at the top of your lungs.

    How very adult of you.

    Simple facts, there were plenty of WMD's found. Simple facts- you've proven yourself wrong in front of everyone here.

    You can't even go to third world countries as your military lacks any way to deploy outside it's border.

    Yup. We didn't know what the Deep State was then. The CIA lied us into that war. I wonder how many other wars they have lied us unto?

    I have a feeling that once we get Durham's report, that the entire nation is going to engage in some deep thought as to what changes are necessary to the FBI, CIA and Intelligence Community as a whole in order to ensure that they serve us, rather than thinking that they run the country and have a veto over who The Electorate selects as President.

    LOL! "Sue the military for millions".

    What kind of information does the German media feed these guys? LOL! That's the funniest thing I've seen today! I agree with you! He should try to sue and see what happens!

    I think our measure of success is how many people we can kill in other countries, and how much chaos we can cause, so they can keep on killing one another. And to think we fought Germany and Japan for much lesser crimes.

    I guess it's a means of population control - not to mention eugenics.

    It gets you far in Germany, over here soldiers sued the military for mental disorders or wickness they got from radar tech. Couts gave them right and the Bundeswehr had to pay 25 million €.
