That would require terminating tens of thousands of employees after the #VA expanded during the #Biden admin, & to cover #veterans impacted by #BurnPits under the #PACT Act.

The memo instructs top-level staff to prepare for an agency-wide reorganization in Aug to “resize & tailor the workforce to the mission & revised structure.” It also calls for agency ofcls to work w/ #Trump’s& #ElonMusk’s #DOGE to “move out aggressively, while taking a pragmatic & disciplined approach” to the admin’s goals.

"Farmers told me that they witnessed U.S. military contractors dump sewage and waste into their fields. Residents described how, for years, they had bathed in sewage-clogged streams that flowed from inside the base walls and breathed in the billowing clouds of poisonous pollutants from the open-air #BurnPits."

@ClimateNewsNow thank you for the reference to this comprehensive reporting. War is a toxic and environmentally destructive practice. Afghanistan has absorbed the damage of lethal machinery, lubricants, ordnance as well as the waste of hundreds of thousands of foreign fighters for 40 years: this is the first report I’ve seen of effects on people there. #burnpits #benzene #heavymetals #KBR #Bagram #kidneydisease #lungcancer #skinrashes

@cstross

What about the hypocrisy of #burnpits with the proven carcinogenic fallout?

Not funny that there are rules and there are broken rules.

Like burnpits and the toxic lead next to small airports.

About #preper folks yea, it seems to me, they are always ready to one day say #itoldyouso

But, they might have to say #itoldyouso to themselves, if a local disaster kills or isolates his/her neighbors😭

"In August 2022, US President Joe Biden signed an act expanding benefits & healthcare to US veterans exposed to toxins in #BurnPits. But what about #Iraq|i exposure to burn pits? #KaliRubaii's research addresses their longterm diffuse exposure at all stages of their life, with effects that are varied & widespread. Rubaii has worked closely with Iraqi families since 2009 .. "
