Four AF guys from the same unit with testicular cancer?
Wow. I heard from another board I visit that the Air Force husband of one that board's members has testicular cancer. Got diagnosed after returning from Iraq. Same thing with three other guys in his unit. I'm thinking depleted uranium. Since I am not close to her anymore I hadn't heard any other details. Where's the media when you need them?

1. The media is hiding on this............
As is the Pentagon and the administration. They know what damage DU does; 11,000 men and women from the first gulf war are dead, likely of radiation poisoning, and huge number of the vets from that war have health problems.

They know it. They aren't damn well going to admit it, since that would make lawsuits inevitable and diminish support for not only this war, but future wars.
