My guys were taking turns driving skid steers pushing batteries, human shit, and trash around a pile while it smouldered. Prior to that my guys mixed human shit and jp8 fuel in a can and stirred it with a shovel to slowly burn it away. I'm a lead from the front kind of guy and gave it a whirl. The smoke is black and thick up close. From afar you can smell it... Dare I say its smell would warm the cockles for perverse reasons.

As you say there is no proven connection. Andy's comment shows why we need a draft. If you ask any veteran with integrity the same question they will react as we are. If you ask some fat reservist who is 100% disabled for "PTSD" for his time managing the wash rack in kuwait he will say yes. There is a reason for the divergence in the answer and it comes down to integrity. If you ask a civilian they will assume that DoD is correct. It is not.

We do not need a draft you meathead

Maybe you should read the science. You just emote. Yeah, you have "integrity" as do all real men who look at their butts in the mirror. As opposed to guys who don't even lift.

Would you share the science that shows the connection

between burn pits and brain cancer? All three studies I found from the National Academies and in pub med find NO relationship between burn pit exposure and brain cancer, and at least one brain cancer specialist outlined reasons that brain cancer is an unlikely outcome of exposure to combustion products (the same reasons that brain cancer is hard to treat - most chemicals don't pass the blood/brain barrier).
