Retired Master Corporal Arjan Grewal, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, told The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson that burn pits were a common part of life on bases during his six tours of duty.

And nobody complained to the Inspector Genernal? Ridiculous! You don’t burn batteries in the middle of base! Come on!

Each base commander who allowed that is responsble. I’m sure there’s a policy against doing that.

I’d also like to know if this is one bozo lying or did they really burn industrial waste in the middle of base.

Burn pits and Camp Lejeune water makes lawyers salivate. Meanwhile the VA is funding illegals and pushing the vax.
