Podcast with LT Smash
Glenn had dinner and interviewed LT Smash, blogger, soldier, and contributor to a new book, The Blog of War: Front-Line Dispatches from Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
During dinner at Calhoun's (there seems to be a theme that we take all bloggers out for barbecue), LT talks about Cindy Sheehan's fast, his part in a book of military bloggers, his travels and his face-off with Code Pink protestors at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Ahh, yes, if only a Hug-In could end this little Middle Eastern problem.You can listen to the podcast here -- no download needed, just click on the gray Flash player -- or download directly here.

Interesting stuff, but it needed more Dr Helen.
Smash,
No, Glenn does not keep me locked in a basement--if only he could--his life might be easier! I am really sorry I did not get to meet you. Please accept my apology and I hope we can meet up next time you come through or when Glenn and I are in your neck of the woods. Thanks for doing the interview and for standing up to groups like Code Pink who not only do not support our troops but who actively seek to undermine their moral.

Holy cow!
Depleted uranium isn't significantly radioactive, so the Hiroshima and Nagasaki comparisons are just silly. It can produce heavy-metal toxicity, but so can lead. There's a lot of hysteria on this subject, mostly peddled by people who are selling bogus remedies. There's not much in the way of actual evidence that it's harmful, though.
Expended DU rounds are not a threat to anyone, let alone comparable with the two nukes in Japan. As for the disability rate, are you just quoting all people who seperated with disabilities or specifically ones which can be attributed to DU (0 BTW)? Most AF personel retire with some kind of disability (hearing, hemmerroids, & back injuries being the most common)- there is a financial incentive to be at least partially disabled since the percentage of your disablement is the percentage of your retirement pay that is NOT taxed. It's been 15 years since GW I and the bulk of the troops which fought in that war have retired/left the service. Not all the disabilities were caused by there action in GW I. So you numbers are way, way off.
You are correct that DU makes great armor killing rounds though. Also, BTW, tanks hit and killed are very toxic (fuel, oil, all kinds of heavy metals and coatings etc) reguardless if hit with a DU round or not.
DU 60% as radioactive as weapons-grade plutonium? Bullshit.
The VA did a study of veterans who had DU in their bodies. They didn't have any increase in cancers. The Red Cross hasn't found any increase in areas where it's been used. Arizona has a high concentration of natural uranium in its dust (uranium is actually present in the soil everywhere to some degree), but Arizona doesn't have a higher incidence of cancer. Neither do miners who actually extract the stuff, except for lung cancer due to radon.
