The results are only "kinda icky" if you have the misfortune to be one
of the idiots in an Iraqi tank! DU ammo is, essentially a "tank shell" to
kill hostile tanks. The arguments you see of DU ammo contaminating millions
of kilometers of Iraq are just the rantings of idiots and liars. Almost all
the DU ammo was used in Kuwait. And contrary to the claims the United States
did not drop DU "bombs" on Iraq. I do not believe there were any "bombs"
made from DU in the arsenal. To the nest of my knowledge, DU had two uses.
One as an anti-tank shell for the Abrams tank and the other as shielding for
the tanks against anti-tank weapons. The notions of DU dust, DU bombs and
the like is so much propaganda that works on the mentally deficient.
