Depleted uranium is used on the ends of bullets
And on the ends of shells because it is so hard
Almost any armament is vulnerable
To something that is tipped with depleted uraniumIn the cities and towns of Afghanistan

They simply saw this as being a direct result

Dont ask if its a boy or a girl, they ask, 'Is it normal?'The military denies first and then after the evidence builds to the point

And I suspect and Im worried that thats what will happen this time
