Uncover the toxic scars of burn pits with Talking Lead as we confront a hidden threat haunting our veterans. From Iraq and Afghanistan’s massive burn pits—loaded with jet-fueled trash like plastics, tires, and dioxins—to cancers and lung diseases striking heroes like Sergeant Major Alberto A. Toscano and Master Chief Hospital Corpsman (ret) Steve Flemming , we reveal the brutal cost. Learn how the PACT Act is helping our vets, why vets still fight for care, and the lawsuits targeting burn pit contractors. With science tying benzene and particulates to leukemia and COPD, we probe what’s next—advocacy, VA registries, and public action. Stand with us to honor vets and demand justice.
