    This always gets me about war. Bullets are made of lead and it’s just being sprayed over all your cropland. Sigh.

      That’s what I was thinking about as well: munitions like rockets contain a crap load of bad chemicals in them, what’s this doing to the fields used for food crops?

      Bullets are made of lead

      for the military: not anymore. lead for bullets is only used for hunting nowadays and even there it is banned in many countries (being replaced by copper or zinc instead). the core of military small arms projectiles is usually steel or a special penetrator (i.e. tungsten)
