The military is the only job where a person is sent into a situation 
with a high likelihood of death or serious injury.  This level of risk 
wouldn't be tolerated in any civilian job in this country.  It amazes me 
that DU exposure has become such an issue in light of the big picture, 
especially since its use as a highly effective penetrator likely saves 
soldiers lives.

Another good reason why Iran shouldn't be enriching uranium - they would 
then have the DU to turn into battlefield weapons that might ultimately 
be turned on us.
