In The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers,
Joseph Hickman, a former U.S. Marine and Army sergeant gives a stunning
expose of the ongoing health disaster created by the open-air burn pits
on military bases throughout Afghanistan and Iraq, calling them the
Agent Orange scandal of of our day.
Open air burn pits were created to dispose of trash accumulated on
U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan since the onset of the wars.
It is estimated that each service member accumulated nine pounds of
trash per day.
