very bitter bitter sweet let's go over the source please concept of burning trash and war is not new it's as old as war itself the difference here was that this war was lasting for a decade and included intense thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan and where did they burn trash and these huge open air heads. they burned everything creating this black plume of smoke that had been just bursting out and settling over these small that were a five cities. if you can believe that you can and you had people living in barracks right next to this pool people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. with the receiver more bless you look forward to going out to me going to sleep this way is

a catastrophe in the making to get to. and to start of the war in afghanistan. the military commanders on the ground realized 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 the battlefield they don'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 it they decided to burn it they burn everything that you can possibly think of what they take to the bank.

moon. to mean. what we would burn less human waste. trash. plastics medical. supplies. to name. anything that they would in use anymore they would burn. at times they also had. the pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. days a few elaina. and then lighting that.

there was a blue smoke and the haze 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 was just nasty dirty stinky. some days that. 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 bad you knew. there was no protection. and not. anyone to give them a gas mask but i wasn't. near. my and i knew. it 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 that they would build the seas burn pits sometimes within three hundred meters from from where the soldiers were were actually. 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 know always smell the. plastic bird bird buildings or the wood you know trails. on the way. 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 be 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 or your clothing with all the ashes that were falling on us. now we never complained. they say embrace the suck man. we got to the work area we had initial briefing with are superior and we were told to keep an eye on are people that you're going to get for they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks a truck had been out now without a doubt within a week people were falling out getting sick i really don't remember anybody questioning at that time. the health effects that it would have me as certainly when thinking about their lives thinking they got their own control or here you know certainly our own people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poising 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 enaam exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous waste. 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 in particle 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 a. 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 burning with j.p.

eight which is jet fuel low temperature will be says benzene which is a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having a regulation for everything you didn't have any regulation in place for permit 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 i don't care because i wanted to keep on finding that i found because they they had they won and they mattered and i. really wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn stereophile we can burn certain things in open air so

why weren't they allowed. when the soldiers to do it personally within three days i could feel it like something was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to search. for medication. and i bought it and for me it just wouldn't go away within fifteen days that i was there was even sicker i was pretty sick the whole deployment and when it came down it could be returned back to the states i knew different and the 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 these presumably very healthy men and women all of a sudden were walking around like old men and women not being able to run exercise the way they could so they started writing about it. from a statement from the united states military it says open earth is that iraq exposed thousands of troops 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 torch everything from batteries to body parts experts say the pouring out of these pits are toxic and dangerous so while troops may survive the battle they may also be poisoned. in september two thousand for. the v.a. clinic instead of seeing old caucasian men with meal chairs and oxygen who are in their eighty's. the entire composition of the waiting room changed. full of young

women and men of all ethnicities and they're all in their twenty's back from their first year long deployment in iraq. the typical service member 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 primary 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 tell me function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability at all that doctors are throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year all man to have the won't do it though the long

journeys are a respiratory condition of a eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their exposure to these burn pets in the failed to realize a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour duty. hacking cough would go forward and then when you start bringing up different colors some control. and general body weakness to just trial data how bad and good know for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical lung biopsies to look for things that you might miss in conventional testing.

prescribed medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything with ash and my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site 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 generally all to what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's same. applied for many

clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the superman each of billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so will transfer. and thinks it's going to. yes i've got a very wide grin on my face because that saudi friends. we tell them it just goes on and now yet all is well confiscated basically put on an air b.n. b. and some brits will tell the middle riyad. hahaha.

this is how. the economy. voters in business now run this country. you must see it's not business as usual it's business like it's never. live. they all. believe it will this is all the lifts. luck live. leg.

lifts. lists. what he found was a series of veterans who had a q lung disease acute being area first of all. injury that he was able to find through long biopsies what he found with these tiny little holes these tears 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 prophylactics in english it's a small area where he's disease so the lining of your loans are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier who's a nonsmoker goes over to iraq and afghanistan and congress back with construction project when this that's really a big concern or we're clearly implicated. in increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video indeed decided they were going to send any more veterans his way anymore. i think dr miller's research and his study is a perfect example of. trying to avoid the issue and trying trying not to to pay the compensations to better and. that they

deserve he has the proof he has everything near and they still will not even address this research. there were many people in the department of defense that couldn't accept these findings in you could speculate that they couldn't expect the that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad ample. nation the idea that maybe there was a new asian orange. this deployment the government is looking down the road at billions of dollars in health care costs that they will be responsible for and i believe that they're doing everything they can to fav that off.

the comments of the virus that's are causing ls along the soldiers this is a new disease we call this iraq afghanistan war long injury some of the more severe cases entail that all the positives of long so and his aim while the factorial exposure to the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to severe to rare forms of cancers leukemias it's a wide range of symptoms that people are experience and if you really look into it and do the research you can make these symptoms directly to the permits my

diagnosis is one that started out as you know i had sinus plasma sayto much 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 psych toma was biopsied and found to be that. well i'm medically flipped down which for me till you have a tumor in your head underneath your brain. you want to know. what's going on 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 on got back i mean he was healthy he was out the it was probably not

even less after. a year that he came back they started on the tonsils and got swollen and in the. end he would delete and he would believe from his mouth. i would have chunks of tissue come out of his mind and he was spit out and i believe elice two days a day after christmas when he was told that he lists cancer it's. really really ill. discuss leo. was vomiting 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 to be

a little mccants. as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the military and served in iraq and he was imperfect health shortly after we have 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 permits are complaining about same type of cancer there's a lot of. circumstantial evidence that points to you know his death may have been caused from the burn pits. of the look. good. but. it just didn't make 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 was

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 shoot tobacco or drink the doctor he said it was chemical exposure. our troops are healthy or they don't go. in there coming back in there not a lot of money healthy anymore. it's a challenge but for other people it's it's been dan. it turns out the military knew all along that this toxic exposure could very well her the troops living by these burn pits lieutenant colonel curtis in two

thousand and six had written a memo saying the pollution there was dangerous that that it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits that it was completely buried at centcom no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed his issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis has findings. and his concern us was never shared with anybody the memo which is completely buried. they knew about this and they continue to free can do it. even though would you do that we'll willingly accept the real. being shot we've. taken prisoner. but nothing was signed up to be poisoned. by room 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 pit were at an unsafe unhealthy level now they deal with the after them and always told west attempted to downplay it they have their own study. 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. as for snow. 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 send a monitor's when. you may not be taxed burning trash the monitors are too far away from the burnings you may not attack a part of if you don't put in a monitor until after the burning stuff you may not detect burning any common sense

tells you there was a lot of back in there. this is not. what you see. all around the globe. the world's finest people building the length. of 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 how burton and then take your got these no bid contracts really has not come to light enough i know from some depositions testimony and some of the litigation of involved in the recontract was allegedly negotiated over a couple hours over the phone for a multibillion dollar contract worth k.b.r. was the only company that was a lie. to actually get it. in terms of foreign policy done all chump is already earned himself the title the low expectations president this title is now being put to the test during his tour of asia because the us a status quo power in the asia pacific region only boils challenging china.

i don't think i'd say the people are always suffering always just backtrack in the detention center he need is one that he did go to by santo that is when somebody is all coming from one comes to this i mean one of the seventy percent is coming from an idea i think that we have to see that we have to discuss how to improve our capacity to alleviate that suffer and so on the human being to. play. play. play. play.

play. play from many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners and spending tribute to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what more chance for. the thinks it's minute.

me and its allies liberate the last i saw stronghold in syria brings the terror group self-proclaimed caliphate in the country. pro independence protesters clashed with police at barcelona railway station it's part of a general strike that seen demonstrators blocking the roads in protest over the jailing of top politicians. and cia chief comes under fire for meeting a former intelligence official who says that last year's hack of the democratic party was an inside job rather than a russian directed cyber attack we've spoken to the man on the plane.
