Now to answer your question, and the answer is they wont be getting cancer. The shells are loaded in the 120mm gun automatically and the soldiers do not come in contact with the shell and the dust after the shell is fire is pulled out of the tank using floor vents.
What about the people/land or tank that gets hit, will it too magically pull all the dust to the fires of hell and destroy it through magnificent floor vents or super democracy fireballs of freedom . . . or will each particle remain in that envirnment for the half-life of an atom to kill innocent people after the soldiers go home. Remember even if one particle causes the death of one person that particle does not die, it continues through what ever may carry it on and on . . .
For filling me in on the technical details, I'm glad they're at least looking after themselves, and what about the spent shells? There is much evidence that kids who played with them after the first gulf war got covered in suspect looking lesions(could it possibly be the radiation??), and guess what, there's been a massive increase in childhood leukaemia, as well as birth deformity. Please don't try to defend the use of this absolutely horrible weapon, it is low level nuclear war, that you must admit. Even the use of chemical or biological weapons is not going to affect the children of the combatants, and their grandchildren and so on. This war is a war on kids, and that is completely fucked up, oh and I do apologise, thats the Royal Scots draGOONs.....
700% increase in cancer in Afghanistan since 2001.
Yes, I am concerned too about the DU. We are hearing reports of tanks being
destroyed around and inside numerous towns and villages. It is a safe bet that
DU shells are being used, which means there will be DU dust all over the streets
of those places, and many of the people living there, who have not been killed
or injured immediately, will be very likely to become ill and die, and there
will be further inflictions on those yet to be born due to birth defects and
other deformities. It's an absolute disgrace.
