7:30 am
their ancestors centuries ago good. for you. and i mean i'm also a couple. of about one month. or issued from mobile to be sure the one i will there will and souls find a way to rebuild their lives in the wounded lambskin. we're. finally going in and sharing and on the honeymoon and noon and lunar hearing and then doing. many known around the room. and hearing our own home.
7:31 am
be. before. you knew just remove one of the names for a. is. most moldering don't always were burning people in the old church it was you it's a little. bit here we are now world version in a. little lower city player over the next forty three. local like the school. play concept of burning trash and war is not new it is all this war itself the difference here was that this war was lasting for
7:32 am
a decade and included tens of thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where today for alleged rash and these huge open air heads. they burned everything creating this black plume of smoke that had been just bursting are settling over is small the word of five cities. and you had people living in paris right next to this clue no people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. for receiving more blasting the fire and we're going to have to make it instigated this way is a catastrophe in the making. at the start of the war in afghanistan. the military commanders on the ground realized
7:33 am
that they had a big problem with the trash that was accumulating from the war each soldier was accumulating approximately nine pounds of trash a day on a battlefield they didn't know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is central command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. over that is as were the military during the war collected all their waste in one central location and so they're burying that they decided to burn it they burn everything in the us we think why did it take the. moon. moon. why we would burn less human waste. trash and.
7:34 am
plastics and medical. supplies. to name anything that they wouldn't use anymore they were burned. at times they also had. pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. and then light it up. there was a blue smoke and the he's looked like the san francisco for the smell was extremely toxic very very putrid it burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it
7:35 am
was just an. dirty stinky. some days the. can talk of the smell of the burn ph and the sewage pit would literally make you would drop you to your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that that you knew. there was no protection. and not. ok to give them a gas mask but i wasn't. near. mine and i knew. there was more for nuclear biological chemical. and i knew. it was never mandatory for us to learn that. no safeguards were in place to protect the soldiers dog as a matter of fact they they would build the seas burn pits sometimes within three
7:36 am
hundred meters from from where the soldiers were were actually quartered behaves in the smoke drifted over to where our trailers were and just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right above you don't always smell the. plastic bird or buildings or the wood you know trails. i mean. it's just really an offensive putrid kind of a smell it's very hard to describe because when it was mixed with the smell of the sewage b. and it was just news just got awful your nose would burn your eyes would water your throat would burn during the course of the day you would you have to go and dust yourself off your hair your clothing and with all the ashes that were falling on us . news now we never complained. so they
7:37 am
say embrace the suck man. because to the work area we had an initial briefing mother superior and we were told to keep an eye on her people then you're going to get what they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks atrocious. but not without a doubt within a week people were getting sick i really don't remember anybody questioning at that time. the health effects that it would have i mean i certainly wasn't thinking about that and thinking they got their own control they were here you know and certainly our own people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poison us but that turns out to be you know. not the case. these personnel would be exposed to a toxic soup of chemicals released into the atmosphere plastics and star riffle metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on
7:38 am
exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous ways. humans are supposed to breathe clean air air is twenty one percent oxygen and seventy nine percent nitrogen with no air pollution or particles in the air and the particle in the air can trigger asthma and when you particles in an open air setting at low temperature low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using it. burning particles particularly for burning carcinogens exposed as a person when they need it and hail it sniff it get it on their skin they get exposed to carcinogens which can cause cancer so bonding with j.p. eight which is jet fuel low temperature will leases benzene which is a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having a regulation for everything you didn't have any regulation employed. yes. that
7:39 am
operations and those burn pits that were created in iraq and afghanistan whimpers from two thousand to two thousand and nine burning without any regulation at all didn't have regulation where they would be built how they would be constructed they didn't do any soil samples before they built the berm pits they didn't do any plume samples after the burn pits were operational for many many years. after nine eleven they didn't care they just wanted to keep on sending the guys out because they they had they wanted bin ladden i trolled he wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn stereophile we can burn certain things in open air so why would they allowing those the soldiers to do it and i personally within three days i could feel it like something was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to search and they gave me a different medication and
7:40 am
a cream and i by addicts and for me it just wouldn't go away within fifteen days that i was there was even sicker but i was pretty sick the whole deployment and when i came back and returned back to the states i knew definitely something was wrong and that became the o.p.o. battle of trying to figure out what was wrong and how bad it was going to be i started developing sinus problems me you know a lot of other guys me to get nasal sprays and stuff to try to alleviate that and i just had. sinus problems veterans were coming home they had stories to tell they came home they're experiencing all these health conditions they didn't know why is presumably very healthy men and women all the sudden were walking around like old men and women not being able to exercise the way they could so they started writing about it. very very different from united states
7:41 am
military affairs open to rock exposed poses of truth to toxic chemicals a mysterious illness is affecting veterans who were exposed to open burn pits which the u.s. military used in iraq and afghanistan to torture everything from batteries to body parts experts say the fumes pouring out of these pits are toxic and dangerous so while troops may survive the battle they may also be being poisoned. in september two thousand and four. i know there's. a v.a. clinic instead of seeing caucasian men with real chairs and oxygen who are in their eighty's. the entire composition of the waiting room change was full of young women and men of lawlessness and these and they were all in their twenty's back from their first year long deployment in iraq. the typical service member
7:42 am
came in with an inability to complete a two mile run within regulation time. most of them had already had a traditional work up for pulmonary disease including x. rays c.t. scans plenty function testing all of these studies returned normal or near normal in almost every case. it was subtle because these service members complained of shortness of breath with exertion but their x. rays and pulmonary function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability at all and that doctors were throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year old man to have the long. long charities or a respiratory condition an eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their exposure to these burn pets in the fail to realize that a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits. for for their
7:43 am
entire tour of duty. hacking cough would go away. and then when you start bringing up different colors some control. and general body weakness just trial bad bad and good no for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical long biopsies to look for things that you might miss in conventional testing. the isis militants have just shown to patrol things on the left and right he misses compound. enemy troop movements have been spotted on the photosensitive the river. here in the only two groups of militants have joined forces. and those groups
7:44 am
leaders have to clear their determination so for an independent isn't extinct in the philippines you know. even after two months of fronting the army keeps finding hidden weapons and explosives. not being up operations in areas where civilians used to live on a daily occurrence. enough well meaning walk with the bundle but no. noise you get a minute it. is a visit it is a scene no. walking dead. unbelievable it is indeed. in my head if the fish is a city imbecile. and. well
7:45 am
you go shoot you could you. know melissa i noticed but where you and one million people that died. he killed people even date you. know no one's income to worry a few that he's around in that and that's. what he found was a series of veterans who had
7:46 am
a cue lung disease acute being area verse of all. lung injury that he was able to find through long biopsies where he found these tiny little holes these terrorists and their long tissue he saw nothing of these veterans to come to his own conclusion that they could have only got this from a toxic exposure. to produce his career looking for this problem and he was able to discover it. and the diagnosis was constrictor. in english it's a small area where his disease some of the lining of your lungs are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier who's a nonsmoker goes over to iraq and afghanistan because back with construction project way this that's really a big concern or we're clearly. located. an increased incidence of lung disease
7:47 am
associated with deployment. the d.o.d. decided they were going to send any more veterans his way anymore. i think dr miller's research in his study is a perfect example of of the v.a. . trying to avoid the issue and trying trying not to have to pay the compensations to veterans. that they deserve he has the proof he has everything they are and they still will not even address his research. there were many people in that apartment or defense that couldn't accept these findings in you can speculate that they couldn't expect be that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad implication the idea that maybe there was
7:48 am
a new asian orange. this deployment the government is looking down the road at billions of dollars and health care costs that they will be responsible for and i believe that they're doing everything they can to stave that off. to have their. help in a. relational. learning. track i. wish. to convince of the benefits are causing ls along the soldiers this is a new disease we call this iraq afghanistan war along. injury some of the more
7:49 am
severe cases entail that all the positives of long so it is a multi-factorial exposure. the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to severe to reforms of cancers leukemias it's a wide range of symptoms that people are experiencing if you really look into it and do the research you can make these symptoms directly to the burn pits my diagnosis is one that started out as seen oil sinus plasma psych toma if you can say that in one word which is a four point four centimeter tumor right here in my head that started out as a solitary plasma site toma it was biopsied and found to be that. will automatically flip down when somebody tells you have a tumor in your head underneath your brain you want to know. what's going on
7:50 am
with that and i didn't know anything about this burn pit exposure thing or nothing until after my diagnosis. so the first thing i did was i ran to the internet and i started researching this particular issue and it kept coming back to the same thing what causes plasma psycho toxic exposure. when he first got back i mean he was healthy he knows how to be on it was probably not even less after. a year and he came back they started on. their tonsils got some of them pain. and he would delete and he would believe from his mouth. i would have chunks of tissue come out of his mind and he would spit it out and. i
7:51 am
believe it was two days sort of a day after christmas when he was on told that he lists cancer. was a really really ill. discussion. that was going to feces and everything else and that when they took out the gallbladder just to be safe when they went in there to remove the gall bladder they took a biopsy of the tumor that was blocking my lower bowel and then a. little mckenzie. as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the military and he served in iraq and she was in perfect health shortly after the count home within nine months he started getting sick he had a brain tumor. and he eventually died from the brain tumor the same type of brain tumor that many of the soldiers that are sick from the four inputs are complaining about same type of cancer there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to you know his death may have been
7:52 am
caused from the burn pits. but. it just makes sense it didn't make sense that my young healthy husband had cancer and then it turned out there were two types of cancer how is it not the burn pits is not a type of cancer for a young twenty seven year old guy to have because first he didn't smoke he never smoked he's not a drinker and usually that's the type of cancer that older gentleman who smoked for a long period of their lives should tobacco or drink the doctor he said it was
7:53 am
chemical exposure. our troops are healthy or they don't go. in they're coming back in there not a lot of more healthy any more. challenge but for other people it's it's been. turns out the military knew all along. that this toxic exposure could very well her the troops living by these burn pads lieutenant colonel curtis in two thousand and six had written a memo saying the pollution there was dangerous that it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits it was completely buried it's calm no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed his issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis's findings and his concern us was never shared with anybody remember which is completely buried. they knew about this in
7:54 am
the continue to free can do it. even then would you do that we'll willingly accept you do risk of being shot and wounded taken prisoner. but nothing was signed up to. poison. byrom people. there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between burn pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from clearly the cat was out of the bag the two thousand and six memo had basically said that the military was aware that the pollution levels around the pits were at an unsafe unhealthy level now the d.o.d. after that man always told wished attempted to downplay it they had their own study
7:55 am
. commissioned in two thousand and eleven with the institutes of health and medicine that study had said that they could not find a connection between the pollution levels around the pits and the health effects that the veterans were experiencing. those studies which were very in-depth did not identify an increased risk of respiratory symptoms or disease at locations with burn pits as opposed to no burn pits. the army did their own study and years later and it was it was completely flawed for several reasons one it only studied one burn pit out of two hundred seventy three that were located in iraq and afghanistan they didn't have prior plume samples because it was done done the whole study was a complete. fraud. contest for snow
7:56 am
and albany new york and july. you may not find snow in albany new york. but that does not mean that it does not snow in albany new york if you set up monitors when. you may not be taxed burning trash the monitors are too far away from them burning you may not attack a part of if you don't put in a monitor until after the burning stuff you may not detect. any common sense tells you there was a lot of bad there. is no. what can you say. to do only. to do. all around the globe there's jobs. in the world. true.
7:57 am
the world building. the company and leave. the waste management responsibilities were part of a contract that was held by kellogg brown and root which was a subsidiary of halliburton the company once run by dick cheney vice president dick cheney during the bush years the story about how. these no bid contracts really has not come. i know from some depositions testimony and some of the. contract was allegedly negotiated over a couple hours over the phone for a multibillion dollar contract. was the only company that was allowed to actually get it.
7:58 am
but. it was suggested. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. do chemicals that the advertising. really increase the risk of. skepticism. is is true by independent scientists. from my time as well as the others why is that in the me too happy. doing if you want to learn. a. lot.
7:59 am
it. is a big business against health. this study shows that almost. saved your life. and book a good little place called a police a key to keep. the phone going to. get him you know who are going to commit they're going to write. in the flesh call the ball club and such will lead you to one of the joyful photo why you saw
8:00 am
a film shoot i should think almost like you pulled me through forces when he. was. two separate vehicle attacks in spain leave fourteen killed and one hundred more injured but in the country into the ranks of european states hit by unsophisticated low cost terrorism. tensions flare was an anti hate rally in texas why demonstrators confront a group of activists calling for the protection of a confederate monument. on doughty's campaign to find relatives of russian speaking children.
