Do you think Alpha emitting materials are safe to breathe?
do you know how lungs react to bullets? have you heard of the red forest? are you aware that the Russian army used (as with clusters) u rounds from the start?
there is also a difference between birth defects around a localized area and just using u rounds sporadically.
