Thankfully, I never got to experience burn pits, but plenty of friends did in Iraq, Afghanistan, and earlier in Honduras in the mid-1980’s.

In hindsight, I was so lucky to have done my time in the Cold War Army.

Thanks for the ping, Brother! Like you I never had to deal with the burn pits in 'Nam, but have friends from recent conflicts who did have to contend with them.

Ping to AbnSarge! (Not sure he's on your ping list - please add him if he's not already there.)
