disposed of using incinerators doing it the right way for reasons often related to profit margins was disposing of dangerous toxins in a way that directly impacted the health of soviet troops. seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products this is a do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks quite a bit of stuff. that should have been segregated out it was not it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you're k.b.r. employee and you're throwing. biological medical waste into the. into the burn pit tires and anything else. that did is known to be a toxin. then you're you're careless and you're you're putting people's health in jeopardy and that's exactly what a lot of these k.b.r. contractors were doing. for me to accept. is.

working for k.b.r. and they have no knowledge of. hazardous chemicals on the ground and cause cancer. here and i'll. just put in my family and i had a prius that is unnecessary. i'm. very upset over that. today. very very upset. that they did that. the military exercises regular daily oversight and supervision and periodically issued evaluation reports of k.b.r. performance not just on waste disposal but across all the many functions that k.b.r. performed in the war theaters so the military was aware of what k.b.r. was doing. and if they thought that k.b.r.

was doing those kind of things then they would have been in a position to make those practices you know change to halt very little government oversight on the level of c.e.o. of the major personnel director you actually work force were kellogg brown and root personnel. i've seen time and time again take your claim that the reason why they didn't do what they were supposed to do is they were allegedly being told to do something or working in the military supervision my experience has been and what i've seen in sworn testimony is that too often our personnel were more or less directing the military about what was going to be done rather than the right way. when i noted the violations infractions and improper actions by kill and run a route i supported them to management road towards and i was basically told shut up that they would make the decisions about them as decisions. the case for rick lambert and what k.b.r.

tried to do with him when he tried to expose what was going on can reveal some of the misconduct really points to an attitude that i've seen before or k.b.r. is more concerned about keeping the truth down than fixing the problem. we know from the g.a.o. reports that have come out since you no wait two thousand nine two thousand and ten that both the d.o.d. am k.b.r. were not operating these burn pits within their own regulations they were burning as are this materials all over iraq and afghanistan you know this not only from the veterans but through the g.a.o. reports g.a.o. also found that many of these bearcats were still operating as late as two thousand and thirteen and this is at least two years after they were told to show.

they would have been a lot better off using incinerators incinerators use the last. few alive believe they're more energy efficient and they release less toxins and so that means that any military personnel soldiers and others that are in the area aren't going to be exposed to toxic chemicals toxic fumes that kind of thing to operate burn pits was much cheaper of them to do to put high temperature incinerators cost. and there are. many veterans. believe that k.b.r. was merely cutting corners. to save money my understanding is they were given the money to do the incinerators and so it wasn't a budgetary issue this may have been a cheaper way to go this may have been an easier way to go but it certainly wasn't what was best for our soldiers so far in addition to the congressional inspector

general investigations that have documented the misconduct there's been hundreds of decorations sworn statements by former employees military officers documenting how the operation of the burn pits was exposing troops to the worst toxins known to man rather than disposing of these things like the. easy. easy. and i come to find out the blog where i was for about six months was built on a chemical weapons manufacturing storage facility that we. during the war and then we went to build a base there with my understanding. when the grand samples of what was already in the ground are contaminated and they found that the most. severe illnesses were

coming from five different bases in iraq these bases used to be former chemical weapons facilities saddam hussein operated it was actually told to me by a former k.b.r. employee that they knew the ground was hot meaning it was contaminated. i was speechless and flabbergasted i'm angry i want to talk about these claims that are being served by plaintiff's lawyers who effectively are saying we don't agree with the decisions that were made by the military there were we think there were safer ways as we said ten years later five years later we think there were safer ways of disposing of waste and somebody should be accountable for not doing it the way that we think was safer or as often suggested that in trying to wrap themselves in military and so all this is about is second guessing military decisions about how to dispose of. waste where dispose of waste the problem with that argument that

i've seen is that in most cases in fact across the board k.b.r. was wrong in making decisions often concealing what they were doing from the military they were derelict they know it i believe all these illnesses have been prevented and partly because i think it appears incinerators. them which were offline if they were to found out. in i mean if they would have realized. and what we did in the fog of war we've got to fix this in they took action to fix it. that's good they didn't. leave. now it turns out there was something else in the contract because all that wasn't good they had an indemnity folks so if they screw anything up they don't have to pay for the bill gets stuck on the american taxpayer there will be an indemnification or nay. legend's unreasonable acts by your managers agents

simple if they fell within the definition of what is covered even if they cause the injury or death to third parties. that under the provisions of this clause that is correct even if they cause injury or death to civilian employees. under the provisions of the cost that's correct even if they cause injury or death to american soldiers. does not and does not carve out an exception for civilians our soldiers are which means that means that if in fact the activities fall within the definition of a clause saying k.b.r. could could apply for reimbursement that's correct even for death or injury to american soldier that is correct even for death or injury to a british servicemen. that's correct even death or injury to iraqi national or other for world national working on

a cave your project. that's correct they were going to get fully reimbursed for every single legal penny they spent as well as any damages found against them and probably one of the biggest bailouts of government contractor that's been documented so far. indemnification is is absolutely criminal if we have over one hundred thousand soldiers killed it just shows it's a good example of how much our government really cares about or soldiers are just pawns. they're angry they're frustrated they feel as though they gave. everything they had to the us government. they believe doubtless sam had their back when they sent them over to iraq and afghanistan to fight the war they believe when they came back to be taken care of. the military the v.a. or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide

good health care and a good transition out of the military and the military and v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only when the firm put issues but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are many people who are working with the v.a. who feel that studies have either augmented belated have been prone to bias in favor of. results that my air to earth that's having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems.

but holds as an excuse not. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be trusted and sure. some people want to be rich. that's a going to be the first it's like that before three in the morning can't be that. interested always in the waters and. there should be. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last turn. here at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest

these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market but a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit

suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects . was is gellatly alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans however if good studies produce results that should not support the office of public health so written policy they don't release them. this applies to. data regarding adverse health consequences of environmental exposure such as burn pits in iraq and afghanistan and toxics exposures in the gulf or on the rare occasions when. study results are released are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an

ongoing struggle between the truth seekers and the government when it to. sort of getting to the bottom of. your. health a fact that veterans are now experiencing. a hopeful terrible experience. for the claim itself to the v.a. to. either compensated or to get medical treatment. is going to home. are not there no matter what the city. most of their employees are angry and surly. i don't want to go in there i always thought that they would be the best care and the reality.

down it depends on who you get is a provider but the bureaucracy at the v.a. for me is what has been a nightmare to deal with getting bills from the labs for a thousand two thousand dollars for blood work and staff call in the v.a. tell them i'm keep getting these bills call in the lab the v.a. supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo and radiation olsen all these bills are coming and you nobody's paying them. i mean i mean right now we're quarter million dollars in debt from cancer. we're bankrupt. and the v.a. still denies my claim that it's not this not from exposures. politicians the congressional people that we sought to help us unfortunate drop is like a hot potato swims we make sen. so we have no resolution right now the v.a. still do minor cases we have attorneys for sure you know there are going to see

reduce were your you know which is awful you can make it to a lot. of time so i can make with the golden rule the v.a. system itself means that about for ten years or for me it's no benefits that's why after ten years i don't get the benefits because or i think the v.a. should take more. be more responsible with these guys because they have already put their lives on the line for us why would we. not give them the proper medical attention that they need why give them an appointment three months out and then. send it you know prolong it even more to maybe. eight months nine months a year and then even fighting for their benefits if they don't. then book person twelve months of them coming back and he doesn't get

a diagnosis forget it they're screwed because they don't see it act it's service related service connected the burden of proof is on the veteran they have to be able to service connected it doesn't matter whether you have it or not or the condition can did it happen during the day you enter to the left that's the big window that you have to fight. iraq afghanistan war injury is our generation's engine orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was not acknowledged and then after decades it was studied and then finally sold. we're training. so to go with the iraq afghanistan war longing for we can't wait that long poor the burn pits to reckon it's not the phase that the guys are in the females are dying from the burn pits it's on my ass to the

illnesses are showing in the sometimes a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed he gave everything that it was possible to get and. and more proud of that and we don't regret that and he doesn't regret that and we would serve again our sons have enlisted so it's not the service that's a problem and then things happen in war and we understand that there's a cost and and we will carry with that because there are some things that are worth the cost but the other side of that is that at the end of it they take care of you and every single time there's a war we do this song and dance with the government where they say no no it was enough no it wasn't that it's just you it's you know i don't know what it was it's

just the look and it's not every single time. and when is it the last time when is it that they just say ok. this was it and you did your part let us do our one does that time come where you're not fighting afterwards the fight should be done i don't see no way at this because with the agent orange the vietnam veteran still suffering still fighting to be recognized the top of that gulf war veterans fighting to be recognized now you're adding another million or so iraq and afghanistan veterans. fighting to be recognized that's two generations at least of the men and women who are sick. and they have overwhelmed a v.a. system that was not prepared to handle that to compensate every.

soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about their exposure illnesses from exposure from the burn pits. would break would bring literally send a v.a. broke and. they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time. and they won't have to pay and. call for help and. get the middle finger. the vs new model is. delayed and i hope he does. the veterans that i speak to are both mad and they're bewilder some of them are so sick that they don't know if they wake up in the morning and i'm not exaggerating every year or something every year something that's taken away from the quality of life that he has and that we have as

a family. near. me i mean you and. me. in that i would can just walk into a restaurant and sit down and he will have a meal. because he's sitting there he's trying to. keep him sound busy mean on his own in time no uncomfortable for. the simple things that. we take. for granted. that doesn't have. our heart. what. what would it what is that it took on a big leg what does that hold. it's just make it worse.

i'd like to think the future is bright. but that's my optimistic guy trying to i think a lot of times go on myself because if i read about a disease that i. it just gets progressively worse. so i don't know i mean maybe i get a miracle and god heals me and my wife is wonderful and she in a truck on the way nothing's ever opened. but right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of every other. woman's husband and. man's wife who served who did their duty because they believed in it because they believe that it was the right thing to do. that's all we're asking. there's

absolutely a moral obligation to fix it when these veterans come home and they're sick no matter what they're sick we have an obligation as the american public to take care of these men and women who sacrifice themselves for us i. i hope that. this will have an ending where they jump on this and really story. aggressively treating the soldiers at the v.a. and but i don't see this ending well at all. the outcome is is going to be gloom and and doom. and it was such can't be so you can't can't can't i don't he's so wonderful.

each. teach. each ricky your fight is going to continue on and. we're going to. carry where you have. and what you want for. or to the president of the united states. so that it helps others. which. he.

led. to the i. was. told.

so. the.

level was still with you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossip the public by itself will support the day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and wants to buy their products. all the hawks along the border will want.

here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night the senate is full on author of the bill the show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue at the sea people you never heard of love went back to the night president of the world bank still very. seriously he sent us an email. even should this have come due diligence to pursue him as i live it here you hear yourself in. funny. beyond. words we have many things in the smiles and this is it well for everyone

and why some peoples of also take our things all the power just for themselves and to see that the other way. i just. told me. it was. easy. to look. at it. as.
