Breathing Death: How America continues to fail it’s veterans
In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, we dive deep into the ongoing crisis surrounding military burn pits and their devastating impact on veterans’ health.
Richard Leonard reflects on his own deployment experiences in Iraq and Kuwait, describing the toxic mix of waste — from office supplies and vehicle parts to medical waste and even human remains — burned in massive pits near living quarters.
He discusses a new NIH and DoD study linking burn pit exposure to increased rates of depression, severe stress, brain trauma, intracranial injuries, and higher suicide risk among troops.
