BUT IT'LL TAKE A SILVER BULLET TO KILL THE GULF SYNDROME HOAX (via Jim Yates):

Bullet radiation not so harmful (Science Alert, 16 December 2009)

Senior Research Fellow at the University of South Australia, John Pattison has led a research project that casts doubt on the aftermath impact of exposure to radiation from depleted uranium munitions. [...]

“Many studies have been undertaken to discover more about Gulf War Syndrome but none has uncovered a direct cause or cluster of unique symptoms and that is why we need more research to clarify and refine our understanding of the syndrome.

“Our aim in this study has been to help by continuing the process of elimination and, in doing so; we believe that we can in fact rule out DU as a cause of the Syndrome from a radiation perspective. Our research found that the enhancement factor is actually of the order of 1 to 10 which, although significant, is at least 50 times smaller than has been suggested in the past.”
