The Strykers are massive military tanks that carry the huge 105mm cannon and multiple 25mm Bushmaster machine guns, both of which shoot DU ammunition. When fired, they discharge radioactive aerosols that affect local populations, like the Iraqi and Bosnian children whose leukemia rates soared 400%
Radioactive Uranium, the wages of war.
(Hawaii) Nobody wants to think about the deadly invisible uranium particles spreading death and mutilation around the world, but the U. S. and other military forces are illegally using nuclear weapons that do just that. They threaten to spread "death by breath" everywhere – unless we tell the U.S. Army to stop! Now! In Hawaii!
If you think it has nothing to do with you, think again.
Longevity Specialist Dr. Gabriel Cousins is not exaggerating when he says Depleted Uranium "threatens to kill and destroy a whole world."
Hawaiian residents started thinking about the toxic wastes of war 60 years ago when the U. S. Military dumped 2000 fifty-five gallon drums of radioactive toxins off the coast of Oahu at Pearl Harbor. A mixed crew of Hawaiians – hula dancers as well as housewives, retired Marines as well as nurses -- are still thinking about the effects of war as they fight the U. S. Military in a David-and-Goliath confrontation they hope will change the fate of the world.
The group is Protect Hawaii (

The Stryker Brigade Combat Team tanks carry Depleted Uranium (DU) weapons, which are Radioactive Uranium (RU). When these radioactive uranium munitions are fired, they spread aerosols into the nearby atmosphere, surface water, flora, fauna, and the entire food chain. Two to five years after exposure, local animals and humans often develop nerve disorders, bleeding, cancers, and tumors.
