Prohibit the use of depleted uranium and other toxic chemicals in military ordinance to prevent genetic defects.

The ongoing use of depleted uranium and other toxic chemicals in military ordinance have recently been proven, by medical research, to cause massive birth defects, anomalous cancers, and blood disorders in all those exposed, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet the military seems to ignore this devastating fact. Medical research is now surfacing ( http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/toxic-legacy-of-us-a... ) to establish these terrible post-war conditions. Iraqi birth defects, cancers, and blood disorders have dramatically increased in areas of military activity. After an attack, cancer rates have skyrocketed above levels seen in Hiroshima after our nuclear attack on Japan. Please end this devastating side effect.
