The VA will slow roll this just like they've done to the Vietnam Vets with Agent Orange. They'll wait until we've all died off so they won't have to assume treatment.

Meanwhile Over here in California, they’ve already connected the smoke from the previous force fires to spikes in lung disease heart disease and stroke’s. This took all of one month maybe two. And this is only wood and household materials for the most part.The stuff we were breathing was way more toxic and carcinogenic then anything over here. And it’s been more than 25 years and it still hasn’t been linked to our problems that we are suffering.

I know. It's infuriating. If the damage is due to a product, you can get action but when it is the government, not so much.

Exactly. I wholeheartedly understand and accept the oath I took when I enlisted into the USAF. I still stand behind it to this day. I personally haven’t been affected by the oil fires as far as I know...at least not yet. I am whoever struggling with the side effects of the anthrax and the other vaccines and pills we were administered prior to and while deployed, that’s another story. There are plenty of people who are suffering from lung issues from the burn pits and oil fires that need to be helped.
