before. you just remove one of the names for it. is. a. little slow entering don't always were burning people in the old security curious a little. bit here we have world version of you know. very. little ability to flirt with an exploding very. vocal zealots of sorts to. 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

a decade and included tens of thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where they were 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 a small word of five cities. and you had people living in barracks right next to this clune people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. or receiving more blast to the fire and we're going to have to make it instigate this way is a catastrophe in the making. at the 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 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 it is as were the military during the war collected all their waste in one central location and sort of burying it they decided to burn it and they burn everything they become us we think of what they take to the bank. moon in. june. while we would burn less human waste. trash. plastics medical.

supplies. who knew. anything that they wouldn't use anymore they were burned. 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 shit of the smell of the burn ph and the sewage pit would literally make you would drop your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that bad you knew. there was no protection. and not. anyone that did it give them a gas mask and it wasn't that i do not. mind i knew. there was more for a 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 about you know always smell the. plastic bird bird buildings or piece of wood you know blocks mels. 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 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 or your clothing with all the ashes that were falling on us . now we never complained. they

say embrace the suck man. because to the work area we had initial briefing mother 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. but that 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 happen yesterday when thinking about their lives they can they got it all control over 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 in style reform metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on

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 funding that i found because they they had they won and they matter and i. wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn scarified we can't burn certain things in open air so why weren't they. 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.

different medications. and it biologics 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 oh pill 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 exercise the way they could so they started writing about it.

rather than from the united states military it says open burn it's an 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 some time or two thousand and four. i know it is. a 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 function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability itll that doctors are throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year old man to have the long. long journeys are a respiratory condition eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their exposure to these burnt heads in the fail to realize a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire

tour of duty. can cough would go forward and then when you start out bringing different colors some control. and general body weakness to just try bad and good know 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. i'm not. going to.

apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside i. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman he just killed you know around us and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on a because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so will more chance for. a nice minute. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. what he found was a series of veterans who had a q lung disease acute being area first of all. lung 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 airways disease so the lining of your loans are destroyed if you have

a perfectly healthy young soldier. goes over to iraq and afghanistan and congress back with construction broadway this that's really a big concern are were clearly implicated. in increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video indeed decided they weren't 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 veterans. that they deserve he has the proof he has everything near and they still will not even address his 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 be that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad implicate. 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 burn pits 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 deposited into the lungs so in 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 could 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 sight toma was biopsied and found to be that. will automatically flip down with me tell 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 swelling 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 was spit it out and i believe elice two days a day after christmas when he was on told that he lists cancer was really really ill. discuss leo house 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. but as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the military and he served in iraq and he 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 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 looking glass. 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. 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 chemical exposure. our troops are healthy or they don't go. in they're coming back in there not a lot more healthy anymore. it's a challenge but for other people it's it's been damn. 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 it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits it was completely buried it's on com

no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed is issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis has findings. and his concern us that was never shared with anybody i remember which is completely buried. they knew about this in they continue to free can do it. even then would you do that we'll willingly accept. being shot we've. taken prisoner. but nothing is assigned 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 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. fraud. as for snow. new york. 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 attacked burning trash the monitors are too far away from the burning so 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. or not through. 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 bird and take your got these no bid contracts really has not come to light enough i know from some depositions testimony and some of the with occasional involved in the

recontract was allegedly negotiated over a couple hours over the phone for a multi-billion dollar contract worth k.b.r. was the only company that was a wild. to actually get it. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all such but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge start a month and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to go the center of the beach with all we with you and we will show the great game the grit you are the rock at the back nobody gets us to you we need you to get the doll going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three and world

cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me just just at the rio biagi team's latest edition to make up a bigger need to look. los angeles the sony of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. and this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution perth to someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be
