Thou shalt not lie! 1 November 2010 It shouldn’t startle anyone to find that the Pentagon has blatantly ignored a congressional mandate to start reducing its use of Open-Air Burn Pits U.S. bases and Camps overseas “With the DoD’s virtually unlimited resources to funds, technology and research there is no reason why functional incinerators could not have been delivered to Iraq within months of the invasion had the DoD been accountable and wanted to do the right thing to protect their soldiers and civilians,” charges Crawford. When we look at respiratory effects on a population-wide basis,” said Dr. Craig Postlewaite, director of DoD’s force readiness and health assurance, in an interview last September, “we’re not seeing a cause for concern.” The DoD’s official view has so far not changed. So, even as more and more service members come home sick – some of them irreparably, terminally – it would seem the Department of Defense has gone into classic default mode: stall until it becomes impossible to stall any longer. That may buy the DoD ten years at least, and by then it’ll be the Veterans Administration’s problem. mssparky/2010/11/thou-shalt-not-lie-someone-needs-to-tell-the-pentagon/
