San Diego sailor angered over Japan radiation exposure

11. It does not take a rocket scientist to

realize that if you go into an area like Fukushima with endangered nuclear power plants that there is a high probability that you will be exposed to radiation poisoning. Of course the US Government/military knew that, as would the Japanese. And if a sailor didn't realize it then she was either stupid or naive. Depending upon how much was released into the air or ocean currents makes it possible that Fukushima could have a negative impact on other parts of the planet. Just like the US using weapons with depleted uranium has caused issues in the Middle East that can impact other parts of the world as the pulverized particles hits the air currents.

Edit to add: If the US Military/Government actually tried to tell the sailors that there was no danger then the sailors were stupid to buy into that.
