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. seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks quite a bit different stuff. that should have been segregated out it was mine 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 that 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. so for me to accept. is if

i'm. working for k.b.r. and they have knowledge of. hazardous chemicals on the ground of course cancer. here and i'll. just put in my family and i had ever experienced that it's necessary. i'm. very upset over that. today. very very upset. that they did that. the military exercise 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 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 was they were allegedly being told to do something or working under the military supervision my experience has been and what i've seen in sworn testimony is that too often k.b.r. 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 on run rude reporting them to management road towards and i was basically told shut up that they would make the decisions about them as decisions. the case or 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 and 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 shut them.

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 the burn pits was much cheaper of them to then to put in high temperature incinerators cost for the national. many veterans i. 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 there 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 a promise. easy. easy. in a come to find out that blog where i was for about six months was built on a chemical weapons manufacturing storage facility that we bomb a lot of during the war and then we went to build a base there with my understanding to bleep it in with new grand samples as what was already in the ground or contaminated and they found that the most of. we're

told us is we're coming from five different bases in iraq these bases used to be former chemical weapons facilities the 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 inquiry 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 but 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 making decisions often concealing what they were doing from the military they were derelict they know it i believe all these illnesses and then been prevented and partly because they can here's 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 got to fix this and they took action to fix it. that's good if they didn't. 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 get stuck on the american taxpayer there would be an indemnification or negligent. when reasonable acts by your managers

agents impose if they fell within the definition of what is covered even if they cause 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 cause that's correct even if they cause injury or death to american soldiers. does not and does not carve out an exception for civilians are soldiers 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 an 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 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 ill it just shows it's a good example of how much your 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 take care of. the military and the v.a. or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide

good health here. and a good transition out of the military and the military and v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only on 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 that studies have been either augmented belated have been prone to bias in favor of. results that might err towards bets having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems. who.

ended up. not. doing anything little to none in. the those you don't consume you can do little jokes dealing with the stand up on the person in there that are equal to change isn't what you consistency is going on in condolence this will lead then certainly i'm dealing. with that to those moodiness is only a pseudo so dunstable to sitting on. each. cell it's on to feel. it's a year of boston. help. solve

please cool. things yes to almost all the. low please. he. says. yes i've got a very wide grin on my face because that saudi prince. we tell them it just going in now yet all is well confiscated and he's sleeping on an air b.n.

b. and some brits will tell the middle riyadh pub. the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans however if the studies produce results that should not support the office of public health and written policy they don't release them. this applies to data regarding adverse health consequences of environmental exposures such just burn pits in iraq and afghanistan and taught six exposures in the gulf war on the rare occasions when embarrassing study results are released data are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an ongoing struggle between the truth seekers and the government when it comes to. sort of getting to the bottom of the exposure. the fact that veterans are now

experiencing. been an awful terrible experience for. the for the claim itself to the v.a. to. either compensated or to get medical treatment. is going to home. they. are not there to help you no matter what the city. most of their employees are angry and certainly nasty. i don't want to go in there i always thought that they would have the best care and the reality. down to me it depends on who you get is to provide you with 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 company in the v.a. supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo and radiation also and all these bills are coming at you nobody is paying them. i mean i mean right now we're quarter million dollars in debt from cancer cos we're bankrupt. and the v.a. still denies my claim that it's not this is not a. from exposures. the 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. there are no contumacy were just were. you know it was awful didn't make it through a lot. of time so i can make with your golden rule the v.a. system itself means that about fourteen years or for me it's no benefits that's why

after ten years i don't get the benefits it was 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 at 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 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 agent orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was not acknowledged and then after decades in his study. and then finally soldiers were training. so to go with iraq afghanistan were longing for we can't wait that long poor the burn pits to reckon that it's not the pay's that the guys are in the females are dying from the it's i'm often asked the illnesses are showing up in the sentence a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed. and 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 some good do you know with the government where they say no no it wasn't us 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. when 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. and 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 their exposure from the burn pits. would break would bring literally send the 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 anything. call for help and. get the middle finger. the 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 is something every year is something that's taken away from the quality of life that he has and that we have as a family. i mean unique. 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 on his phone in time not uncomfortable for. the simple things that. we take for granted. that he doesn't have. our heart. what. what would it what is that it took a nothing like what does it hold. it's going to get worse. i'd like to think the future is bright. but that's my optimistic guy trying to i think all change one myself because if i read about the disease

that i have. it just gets progressively worse. so i don't know i mean maybe i get a miracle when god heals me and my wife is wonderful and rosy in a truck on the way nothing's ever let up in. bed right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of every other. woman has found it and. man's wife who served who did their duty because they believed in it because they believed 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 are sacrificed. 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 doom. can't the fish i. catch can everything i can or can't i can't eat don't wonder. if. each week. each recchi year fight is going to continue on and. we're going to. tell you where you are. and what you bought

for. her to the president of the united states. so that it helps others. which. he. found.

the lens. to. the m's. food.

coupons in terms of foreign policy donald trump 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 for nearly four years old challenging

china. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press that's why them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first sip. prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ash and my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some sight was all who was 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

why it. was was terminally altered what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's same. at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i gots. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killian a loan has been spending two to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so will transfer. and thinks it's going to.

i think that we have to see that we have to discuss how.

the syrian army and its allies liberate the last stronghold in syria bringing the terror groups the self-proclaimed caliphate in the country to what it. dependence protesters clashed with police at barcelona railway station it is part of a general strike that has seen demonstrations block the roads in protest over the jailing of top politicians. and a cia chief comes under fire for meeting a former intelligence official who says last year's. democratic party was an inside job rather than a russian it directed cyber attack we speak to the man behind the claim.
