Depleted Uranium Contamination From Military Activities 1. Introduction Depleted uranium (DU, Q-metal, D-depletalloy, or D-38) is uranium with a lower concentration of the fissible isotope U-235 than natural uranium. Natural uranium consists of 99.28% U-238, 0.71% U-235, and 0.0054% U-234.1 Nuclear reactors use uranium as their basic fuel in the form of UO2.2 DU is a byproduct from enriching natural UO2 to use in these nuclear power reactors. Uranium decays slowly by emitting an alpha particle

In the US homeless population, veterans are slightly overrepresented (Tsai & Rosenheck, 2015). To be exact, veterans constitute 12.3% of all homeless adults (Tsai & Rosenheck, 2015). A study by Harpaz-Rotem, Rosenheck, & Desai (2011) also affirms that roughly 30% are homeless men and 4% are homeless women. By definition, homelessness is not having “a regular or fixed night-time residence,” and homeless people tend to move frequently, stay in homeless shelters, and sleep in places such as vehicles

Nationalism I'm sure everyone remembers the Gulf War a few years ago. This war lasted for several months and drew everyone to the television and to newspapers to find out what was happening now to all the Americans over seas. Many people found their loved ones leaving. They were in the military and were called to defend their country. This is a sign of nationalism in itself, however, something that was closer to home for me was a tiny yellow ribbon. These yellow ribbons were seen everywhere

But the other named Matt Laleme said, “ I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a neuromuscular disease, after being subjected to small amounts of nerve agents while being deployed to the Persian Gulf during operation desert storm and desert shield.” If a veteran from the Persian Gulf war said this why would the DOD (Department of Defense) and CIA say that this was false? Especially when there are many other cases where veterans have said this. Maybe it was because they didn't want to panic
