This paper discusses Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), a representation of several medical and psychological complaints, which affect several men and women who had participated in the Gulf War which took place in 1991. It examines how these ailments include muscular pain, skin rash, sleep disturbances, peripheral numbness, memory loss, fatigue, respiratory illness, headaches, fever, spasms, low blood pressure and dizziness. It also analyzes how depleted uranium could be considered partly as a factor responsible for the Gulf War Syndrome since depleted uranium has produced long-term health problems in people who had contact with its usage. It was in the Gulf War that the depleted uranium weapons were used for the first time.
