Burn Pits Are Killing Our Veterans
Veterans are coming home from the War on Terror and suffering from the horrific effects of burn pits. Instead of receiving support from the VA—America’s veterans have found they need to fight a new battle at home with an unexpected enemy—bureaucracy.
Free the People sat down with Kelley Beaucar Vlahos of The American Conservative, who has written extensively on the effects of burn pits on America’s veterans, to get to the bottom of the story.

Nobody told these tools of Statism to join the World’s largest terrorist organization.

Many idealistic young people have essentially no other economic options as they exit high school so they join the military. They aren’t children and are morally responsible for their actions, but it’s unrealistic to expect every 18 year old to be fully actualized, completely immune to a life of statist propaganda, and with their future plotted on a sane path through this increasingly insane world.
A friend of some friends of mine died at an early age as a result of exposure to military burn pits. He widowed a young wife and left behind an orphan. Our society should be very concerned about these avoidable tragedies.
