I'm putting this here as a reminder for the absolute contempt ZOG holds for it's own soldiers, not just War Heroes such as General Ratko Mladic.

Call for screening of Balkans troops

Pressure grew today for the Government to screen soldiers who served in Bosnia and Kosovo for cancer after the emergence of so-called Balkan War syndrome.

Former British Army engineer Kevin Rudland has claimed his medical condition and the deaths of six Italian soldiers may be linked to the use of depleted uranium in cannon shells fired during Nato air strikes.

The European Union has announced it will conduct an inquiry into possible health risks from the shells, which were fired from American planes.

And the Italian government began its own investigation after the deaths of six Italian soldiers and 30 cases of serious illnesses among others who served in Kosovo and Bosnia.

But the Ministry of Defence and the US Defence Department both said they were unaware of any link between depleted uranium and illnesses or death.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "We are unaware of anything that shows depleted uranium has caused any ill health or death of people who served in Kosovo or Bosnia.

"We will watch to see what comes of the other studies that the Royal Society is carrying out. It is a legitimate weapon to use. It's used against heavily armoured vehicles and it is a very important weapon."

He added that depleted uranium was not used by British soldiers, only American troops.

The Pentagon has been investigating the issue of depleted uranium since it was first used in weapons in combat in the Gulf.

Last year the UN sent a team of experts to Kosovo, where US aircraft used the weapons against Serb armoured vehicles during Nato air strikes.

Soil and water samples are still being tested with the results expected later this year, US Defence Department spokesman Kenneth Bacon said.

He said: "We have not found any link between illnesses and exposure to depleted uranium."
