Australian soldiers who served in Iraq ‘contaminated with radiation’  

Written by Haitham Sabbah on 29. March 2007, 1411hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Iraq // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah


Sip the sour:

TWO Australian soldiers who served in the first Iraq war have tested positive to depleted uranium (DU) contamination despite assurances from the Federal Government they had not been exposed, an anti-nuclear group said. Any such admission from the Government would leave it open to millions of dollars in compensation.

    Which is probably why the government – any government, in fact – will deny that they were exposed. If they affirm that they were, other soldiers will worry about whether they were. More probably would have been, while others wouldn’t have been but may try to get money out the government anyway. I honestly don’t know how a government should deal with this. I suppose, if it was WWII days, they may have just admitted it and come up with some sort of program. I haven’t heard of many government cover ups in WWII – at least no general or well known conspiracy theories.

    Besides, the gulf war seems to continuously be another Vietnam– there seems to be nothing solid about it that you can grab onto and say “Yes! That’s what it was about!”

    Even in other work places, any harm or danger that employees might experience are not exposed or clearly explained by the employers. It is like a top secret which when revealed might create havoc to the company. But as long as those soldiers or all employees has health insurance, everything is just compensated.
