MagiK, this argument was used in the 80's when Reagan used national security to exempt nuclear sub facilities from NEPA review (which makes gov't agencies consider the environment when undertaking action).
Now, 20 years later, we are suffering the consequences. Any idea how many of the nuke facilities were located on the Hudson River? Lots. Do a web search to find out more about the $20 billion EPA dredging of the Hudson that is taking place to remove nuclear processing contamination.
If their usage was not that harmful, they wouldn't trigger CERCLA or RCRA anyway. Besides, isn't it good practice to police your spent ammo casings?
