I thought there already were a number of Gulf War vets

"carrying" an internal load of DU with no known ill effects thus

baggage. Gee whiz, folks, it's hot outside!

PS If not already known, some of you might enjoy glancing for

radioactive materials at:  http://www.unitednuclear.com/



For Jaro and Bob, I'm still trying to see if I might get you a piece

of DU ....
