The action follows the health complaints of soldiers in the 442nd Military Police Company. Six members of the company fell ill after returning to New York from Iraq. They had unexplained rashes, headaches and blood in the urine, among other symptoms. Five tested positive for depleted uranium. The tests were administered by a private physician when the Army refused to test. The military uses depleted uranium, which is far less radioactive than natural uranium, in armor-piercing weapons.
