Wouldn't this qualify?

But the best part, I think, the most effective form of warfare, is the
depleted uranium ammunition (Nuclear), the gift that keeps on killing year
after year after year.

Could anything be more illustrative of the top leadership in America being
completely and certifiably insane than using ammunition that guarantees a
bitter harvest of disease and death among its own troops for years to come.
Consider the casualty factor from the first Gulf War. Only 147 American
personnel were killed during combat, a substantial number of those from
accidental (we hope) friendly fire. But now, the Gulf War death toll 13
years later is around 10,000 Americans (if you check around on the
Internet), with another 140,000 afflicted with really nasty diseases that
are passed to those wives and children who manage to survive for any length
of time.

It sounds like the bad guy in "Braveheart."  He ordered the archers to fire
into the melee.  The commander said, "We will hit our own men."  He
answered, "We will hit theirs too!"

Most recognizable and feared aircraft: Interviews with captured Iraqi
military personnel underscored the overall effectiveness of the A-10, a
seemingly ubiquitous threat, that delivered its weapons with deadly
accuracy.
According to an Iraqi captain captured by American forces on 24 February
1991, the single most recognizable and feared aircraft at low level was the
A-10.  Not only did the actual bombing run of the A-10 evoke terror, but
also the plane's ability to loiter around a target area prior to its attack
caused additional anxiety, since Iraqi soldiers were unsure of the chosen
target.

The contaminated area after an A-10 attack is 50' from each projectile.
When an Army troop checks out a shredded tank he/she is exposed.  Even
walking down a road that has been strafed could be deadly.  If I remember,
an A-10 can cover every 3' of a football field with a depleted uranium
shell.
