Sometimes soldiers are killed by the dangerous weapons used in wars, even by the dangerous weapons used by their own side. Throughout history, soldiers who went off to fight in wars were aware of that risk. Or at least they used to be. These euphemisms might have their uses for the purposes of justifying participation in a conflict, but they have the side effect of forcing everyone to forget that wars do usually result in casualties. The fact that the war in Kosovo caused so few casualties, at least on our side, actually makes that war, by historical standards, an almost freakish exception although this is something that a number of NATO country leaders appear to have forgotten.
Weapons are hazardous to human beings, to animals, to the environment.
If the leaders of NATO countries want to avoid being responsible for all deaths altogether, they shouldn't fight any wars at all. There is a reason that depleted uranium is used in high power munitions. It is a very hard material that can penetrate the hardened steel used in tanks and concrete used to fortify bunkers. The key objective is to kill the person shooting at you before he can kill you. This is a far more urgent problem in a firefight than worrying about whether a minute amount of depleted uranium dust from spent rounds might somehow cause cancer in a tiny portion of a population exposed to the dust.
