In 2010 we were forced to smoke next to our burn pit, and eat & slept only 25 yards from it.

Thanks you for your service. Sad that majority of veterans had been lied too and made expandable assets. Most of the time it’s best not to serve. Because you’ll never know to whom is you’re serving! Veterans need more help and better care and respects ❤️💯

Get better Kate. Yup! From southern Colorado. Be strong!

Dad was exposed to Agent Orange and didn't even realize it. It took his life, and it's almost impossible to prove.

I’m proud to have been a participant in the Long Term Exposure study that led to the Burn pit registry.

I seem to recall a big case against the military a few decades ago¿ regarding soldiers suing the military/government. The soldiers had been exposed to (god knows what) smoke coming from burn pits they had been ordered to work at, on "area 51". Because it's a testing facility noone was allowed to know exactly what chemicals the soldiers had been exposed to.
Unfortunately that's about all I remember.
My overall point is that the military has been well aware of the chemical dangers they consistently expose their soldiers. And the military/government always plays dumb.

I’m so glad I missed that deployment by a few months, too many friends suffering 😞

How scary. I had skin cancer. My dad was allergic to the sun as well, like my son is, as well. All forms of cancer can be prevented, but we seldom know that. Great story! Yup!

Mandatory conscription will end these sorts of problems and many others. Volunteer military is the worst.
