During military operations in the Global War on Terror, the military employed open-air burn pits to burn garbage, medical waste, plastics, and other waste from military installations. Our service members lived and breathed in a toxic cocktail of dust, smoke, and debris. 2/8 — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: I’m announcing sweeping legislation to help veterans with diseases linked with exposures to #burnpits and other toxins. Many vets are sick and dying from these exposures—and the VA has made it difficult for them to get care. It’s an outrage. 1/8 — PolitiTweet.org

These burn pits, so hazardous that they’re outlawed on American soil, were used on military bases around the world. More than three million service members—stationed in the Middle East, North Africa, and West Asia—have likely been exposed to their carcinogens and toxic fumes. 3/8 — PolitiTweet.org
