“Conclusive” sounds like something a lawyer would say, and I'm a clinician and I take care of patients. Does that mean we shut the door on a veteran who still feels there's a problem that is related to DU? These kinds of reviews will never satisfy some people. I think what it can do is do the best we can to say we have really turned over every rock and found there is not evidence that for the majority, the large populations exposed, depleted uranium is the candidate explanation for their symptoms. I think that's a fair thing to say.
For a veteran who would still feel frustrated by this outcome, I would say to them, “Let's make sure we haven't missed something else.”
