Subject: A project supporting the movement against depleted
uranium weaponry.
Ralph C Whitley, Jr has gone off the deep end. The Movement
(crusade is what I prefer to call it) began with lies by
Saddam and now is feeding poison to our young, poison for
their minds, from people who think that they actually are
doing good for the world. Unfortunately, none of them
understand that DU is nearly inert when it comes to
radioactive substances, that a 4.5 billion year half life
means that half of all the Uranium 238 that ever existed at
the creation of the earth still exists and has not decayed.
In contrast, Polonium 210 is a vigorously decaying substance
with a half life of 110 days. Polonium 210 kills and Uranium
just sort of sits there. There also is the matter of the
"dust", which is not circling the globe and is not prevalent
in the air throughout Iraq or Afghanistan where the actual
usage of DU tank killing munitions was quite minimal since
the Taliban had perhaps a total of a dozen tanks. The
activists claim that all of the bombs contained DU but they
could easily learn that no such bombs exist, but that does
not keep activists like Douglas Lind Rokke, PhD EDUCATION
(that's right, school teacher, not physicist and certainly
not medical doctor even though Rokke tries to convey that
image by claiming to have treated DU casualties ... there
were no friendly fire incidents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and
that is where Rokke safely spent the entire Gulf War), Major
US Army RESERVE (not the active Army, the Reserve, the
weekend warriors and that is exactly what Rokke was for all
but about 6 years of his 27 year military career, a weekend
warrior in the Illinois Army National Guard and the Army
Reserve, his active duty years were four as an Air Force
enlisted avionics technician straight out of high school
during Vietnam, where he served in South East Asia for
perhaps two years, one as an activated Army Reserve First
Lieutenant for Desert Storm and one as a voluntarily
activated Army Reserve Captain at Fort McClellan, Alabama,
when Rokke claims he was Director of the Army DU program not
just the liaison officer with a contractor preparing DU
training materials and he served less than a year as a
civilian GS-13 Supervisory Instructional Specialist at the
same location until he was fired for not being able to cut
the mustard - again, he was not the Director of the Army DU
program, but to his adoring listeners, Rokke is the "expert"
on DU. For information about Rokke, go to the documents I
have posted from his military records and PhD thesis about
teaching physics to vocational high school students (not
about DU) at
DUStory@yahoogroups.com ;
DU@yahoogroups.com ;
Teachnonviolence@yahoogroups.com and
Theveteran2@yahoogroups.com - DU is the easiest to
join, but the links section of DUStory is available to the
public, though the files require you to join. I have 26
pages, about half of the available records from Rokke's
military files and the bulk of the PhD in Education thesis
from the University of Illinois library and I will be glad
to send them onward to anyone who wants to see them. I
especially welcome inquiries from the media because I want
to end this anti-DU crusade madness before they convince
some poor Arab kid that he might as well get even with the
US for poisoning his country forever by setting off a dirty
bomb or nuclear weapon here in the US. That may not be their
goal, but it certainly could be the result.
