depleted uranium

hmm. found out how depleted uranium came about
its a by product of nuclear material [raw uranium]
1 ton of [uranium] which is used for nuclear power plant, nuclear warhead
creates ~99 ton of depleted uranium, radioactive waste.

the US government obviously had tons and tons of those radioactive wastes
where did they dispose it?
they used some of it in the gulf war, Afghanistan and Iraq.
depleted uranium [DU] in artillery rounds, missiles used in helicopters
all contained DU.

why use DU?
its very effective. creates extreme heat upon impact.
destroy tanks and buildings easily.
and to causally dispose harmful radioactive waste in foreign/enemy land!!!
still remember BUSH told the media that the war is to give freedom to iraqis?
what a bull shit. it totally brain-washed alot of people.
including their own solider.

i pity those soldiers that helped in the war.
makes me wonder if SAF soliders were exposed to the radiation in Afghanistan
alot of soldiers that return home were dead or suffering cancer.
and the innocent civilian of Afghanistan and Iraq.
their homeland have been contaminated with radioactive waste.
and ALOT of them do not know about the use of DU by US ARMY.

Do You know?

now i have a deeper understanding of why terrorist exists.
why the war against terrorists will never end.
hatred from generations of iraqi, Afghanistan will be passed on.

its so true.

do you know that alot of countries have the same conscript army as us?
but do u know these?

1.Austria (6 months)
3.Brazil (9-12 months)
4.Denmark (4-12 months)
6.Finland (6-12 months)
7.Germany (9 months)
8.Greece (12 months)
11.Mongolia (12 months)
12.Paraguay (12-24 months)
13.Poland (9-12 months)
15.Switzerland (18-21 weeks)
16.Taiwan (12 months)
18.Turkey (12 months)
19.Ukraine (12 months_
20.Uzbekistan (12 months)

even taiwan is 12months only. even they have apparent tension with China.
given singapore's situation, no apparent threat sg males have to serve 24months?
to sum up what i did for 2 years in NS.
3mths BMT, 2mths SISPEC and 2mth spec course.
preparation for oversea live fire ~ around 4mths.
that sums up close to 1 full year of military duties.
the rest of the time?
stoning in camp, doing guard duty, countless stupid parades,
countless hours wasted doing non ,military duties.
wasting time i would say.

to say all these doesnt mean i hate NS.
but 2 years is abit too long.
we are losing jobs to FT/FP *FP=foreign peasants
and without good jobs, how to start family ?

its a vicious cycle.
please see this article for better information :)

around the world in 80 trades

connan woodman, a london economist, trader quit his job
sold his appartment and took all the savings
to travel around the world and to survive
by trading!. on almost anything.

its a crazy idea, to leave your comfort zone
to enter foreign countries to trade
not to mention the gargantuan task of negotiating, sourcing
and juggling the profit and loss at the same time.

in the show he made some pretty good trades
yielding handsome profits
and also took huge risk and eventually lose money.

he traded with livestocks, tea, jade, surfing boards and even teak in brazil.
he covered japan, china, hong kong, taiwan, south africa and south america

pretty nice documentary to watch i would say.
get to see alot of culture and learn on how to trade.
not as in im into trading or what.
but this video value-added me.

Type around the world in 80 trades in Youtube.
