As a Vietnam era type vet and as an RP type professional I can comfortably 
say that the first thing I would have done had a DU type projectile impinged 
on any surface sufficiently close that I could inhale particulates or receive 
fragments into my body would be to shower the resultant involuntary 
biological effluent from my body (thereby effecting a field decontamination) 
then get on my knees to thank various deities of my continued corporeal 
existence.

This stuff is so much fluff generated by, once again, the merchants of chaos; 
the news media.  Jeez, if they'd read their Clancy, they would know the Sabot 
tank round has been in the European theater since the days when we were faced 
off against the former Soviet Bloc.

There are far more worthy hazards associated with weapons out there they 
could dramatize and lie about.

My opinions and viewpoints.  Any current and future employers simply have to 
accept this.
