My point being that long term considerations tend to be very very low on the agenda when considering weapons of war.
Better examples than depleted uranium (and the 'nonlethal' methods in TFA) include Agent Orange and land mines.
Both are designed for "territory denial" as the Active Denial System from TFA. Both have extremely longterm effects which are still being realised now.
