73,000+ Vets Killed in Iraq?
Monday, March 24, 2008 at 08:43AM How come the government number of 4,000 dead vets is so low? The answer is simple, the government does not want the 73,000+ dead to be compared to the 58,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam Iraq = Vietnam. What the government is doing is only counting the soldiers that die in action on the ground before they can get them into a hummer, helicopter or ambulance. If a vet is injured in Iraq but dies enroute to or at a hospital in Kuwait, Italy, the U.S. or Germany...technically the vet did not die in Iraq.
More than 1,820 tons of radio active nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters (also known as dirty bombs), representing the worlds worst man made ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust by mass represents between fourteen and twenty eight thousand Hiroshima’s from a uranium poisoning perspective.
In Hiroshima 70 thousand died from the blast and 70 thousand died from uranium poisoning. The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue killing for billions of years and could wipe out a third of life on earth. Winds can and will blow the uranium dust from the U.S. weapons around the world. Gulf War Veterans and civilians who have ingested the uranium will continue to die off from uranium poisoning over a number of decades.
So far, more than one million people have been slaughtered and four million are homeless as a consequence of the U.S.'s illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Birth defects are up 600% in Iraq – the same will apply to U.S. Veterans children.
