>> when you burn plastic. you get that smell depending on how strong the winds are. the smoke could be pretty strong. so you constantly either saw the smoke or smelt it pretty much every day, all day. >> all day all night. you're breathing this stuff in. >> reporter: into the burn pits went things like bat ritz, chemical, heavy metals, arsenic. a report by an inspector general put it bluntly. it's indefensible that u.s. military personnel already at risk of serious injury and death when fighting the enemy, were put at further risk from the potentially harm fful emissions from the use of open-air burn pits. even worse it did detailed millions on incinerators to dispose of waste but many sat idle next to the burn pits. an air force expert issued a warning about the burn pit there is and added, it is amazing that

this burn pit has been able to operate without restrictions over the past few years. >> i think at the end of the day, the data looked good in terms of your lung function. it hasn't gotten better, but it hasn't gotten worse. >> reporter: dr. cecil rose is is a pull monthnologist, who was principle investigator of the five-year lung study funded by the department of defense. >> our study is designed to understand the spectrum of lung diseases that can occur following these hazardous exposures and then -- >> that's called breathing. >> shea she has already seen some results. >> we have described a spectrum of diseases that are related to deployment. they weren't there before. they are clearly there after. people have returned from these extreme environments. >> reporter: it's not as simple as a plume of toxic smoke.

survivor benefits, but he didn't stop this. a harvard trained emergency room doctor, he has launched a legislative blitz to get sick veterans benefits now and not wait for more years and studies. >> there's enough to act on it. when people are exposed to an illness and they come in dying on the gurney, you don't have to wait for that pristine science to determine that this patient is sick and dying. you need to act on it and take care of the patient. that should be our common sense approach when you put veterans in the center of theva saees a american history. the use of agent orange in the vietnam war. it's a powerful herbicide used to kill jungle foilage. veterans exposed and got sick years after fought the va for

benefits. a battle that took decades to win. >> be accountable, be responsible, do what's right for our veterans. give them the care that they need and if they don't, then they should be held accountable. >> i don't know if they will be. i don't know how long people will live. how long will they survive. >> that's my concern. we cannot let burn pit exposure veterans be the vietnam veterans exposed to agent orange of our generations. we can't do that. >> in april the central command reported nine burn pits, but says 13 burn pits at the moment are burning nonhazardous waste. they also say that could change at any time if battlefield conditions change. a department of defense spokeswoman added, we are concerned that toxins from burn pit emissions may pose health risks and we are assessing potential long-term impacts. a skeptical ruiz worries people

are still at risk. >> it's still going on. and when you think that the military is willing to expose men and women, our young sons and daughters and brothers and sisters, to burn pits simply because they say it's inconvenient and not cost effective for them, it's sha shameful. it's shameful. >> reporter: so in the years ahead, there may be more like dan. no longer a father who can go on a hike with his kids. >> i used to be very active. dirt bike riding, mountain bike riding, hiking with the family, very active with my kids. now i don't do any of that. >> don't or can't? >> can't. >> reporter: barry peterson, denver.

>> the first moment we came out and did it it was a disaster. we didn't have the right tools or the right thickness. >> reporter: billboards with their now infamous tag line. it turns out, there's a lot to be said for laughing at those in power. >> i by laughing at them pet we remove a little power. so we quite enjoy calling them don keys. >> reporter: nobody was laughing when the billboards turned into a nationwide phenomenon. as 1 million people marched in london demanding a second referendum on brexit led by donkeys found themselves hiring helicopters with the help of crowd funding to capture a banner that would be held aloft by the marchers. >> can we get a drone. new york city you can't fly drones during the protest. then could we get a helicopter. it was another 5,000 pounds and we had a helicopter in the air.

it was singularly the most stressful thing we have done. pulling out a huge banner like that over a crowd comes with a lot of responsibility. but actually for me, it gave us one of the greatest rushes. >> reporter: the banner became a defining moment of the day. now funded by online donations and no more stealing ad space, they have upped their game with projections in brussels as well as poking fun at international visitors. >> it's empowering because i think one of the things is that people are feeling powerless. >> something these quotes and promises that were made before the referendum became a fundamental part of the debate. i would like to think that's because we sat here frustrated, printed out a poster and slapped it on a billboard side. >> reporter: as for the future -- >> i think all of us generally are optimists. and i don't feel in my heart of hearts we are going to leave the europe b union at the end of

october. >> reporter: while staying in the eu might be unlikely at this stage, it wouldn't be the craziest thing to happen in british
