Do you believe DU weapons are increasing the rate of severe birth defects?

March 17th, 2011 by eranio

The Seattle Times and many others have reported that the use of depleted uranium (DU) in projectiles and shielding in Iraq has increased the rate of birth defects in civilian populations and in the US military.

Who is behind such claims? Is this real or propaganda?

How did WW1 relate to total war (military)?

February 27th, 2011 by eranio

How did WW1 embody the characteristics of total war in a military sense (not domestic, ex. propaganda)?

Total war – the devotion of a country’s entire resources to the war effort

I’ve come up with several examples, but I can’t really think of anymore. Here’s what I came up with so far:

- German use of U-boats and unrestricted submarine warfare
- Huge armies
- Production of new weapons and technologies like the tank, airplane, and poison gas in order to win

Anything else?

Thank you!
