I really wish the Afghan withdrawal would be a disaster

Prove it. If burn pits are unsafe, then why and for what reason?

Good, but you often attack it. Why?

Study finds no evidence of health problems from burn pits

An Institute of Medicine study released Oct. 31 found no evidence between exposure to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan and long-term health problems.

A 14-member committee from the institute, a nonprofit health research arm of the National Academy of Sciences, could neither prove nor disprove that service members' exposure to burning trash piles in Iraq and Afghanistan could cause long-term health problems and recommended that more studies be done, a summary of the report said.

The report also said ambient air pollution may pose greater health risks than the abundance of chemicals emitted from military burn pits.

The issue has been studied extensively in the past few years and there has been no finding of a causal relationship, said R. Craig Postlewaite, the department's chief of health assurance.

"The toxicology isn't there; the science isn't there," he said.

Jet fuel is not safe

Chemicals, including jet fuel, may also present toxic or irritant hazards. At high concentrations, jet fuel and other hydrocarbons can affect the nervous system, causing headache, dizziness, and lack of coordination. Chemicals may also cause chronic health problems, such as liver and kidney damage.

Link?

I worked around jet fuel for over 40 years. Seems safe to me.

Is jet fuel harmful to humans?

Health effects of JP-5, JP-8, or Jet A fuels observed in these studies include damage to the liver, decreased immune response, impaired performance on neurological function tests, and impaired hearing.

TBH, I didn't go swimming in it.

These
include how much you are exposed to (dose), how long you are exposed to it (duration), and how you are
exposed (route of exposure). You must also consider the other chemicals you are exposed to and your
age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health.

Hydraulic fluid is worse. Jus' sayin'.

Same can be said with burn pits, u stupid fuck

Republicans aren't campaigning on the withdrawal in any significant way.

That's all the proof we need to tell us the withdrawal wasn't the epic clusterfuck for the ages MAGA cultists told us it was a year ago.

Billions left in arms for the Taliban? There is so much wrong with the Brandon administration, it is hard to know where to start.

 

[Theywillneverlearn!]

Weren't you banned, Sailor? Why have you gone off the deep end? Are you sick? In chronic pain? Dying? Broke?

Unlike you, I'm both sober and know how to search the forum. LOL

You are a fairly lonely dude. Try therapy. Doubt it will work, but try it.

Did my questions make you angry, vols? Are you normally angry or do you hold it in all day then scream insults and spread hate all night because you're too lazy to work hard and succeed? Just going through a rough patch? I've had a few myself.

Why do you think your life is stalling, vols? Remember the phrase "Get busy living or get busy dying"?

Are you living or dying, vols? Me? I'm living. Any of us can die tonight or tomorrow or the next day. I enjoy my life and am trying to help others in a volunteer organization. I'm 66. You?

Trump signed the surrender agreement with the Taliban in 2020.

I don't believe in using American soldiers to defend people who have no interest in defending themselves. The Afghan army Trump supposedly spent four years training just melted away without a fight.

Maybe you should read this, you might just learn something for once!!

Sorry, Sailor, but you're projecting. Good to see you are a little more sober tonight. LOL

As for therapy, it should be as common as flu shots...for those intelligent enough to get them. Charitable social groups are a cheap form of therapy. Helping out others, regardless of how little, feels good. The whole "giving is better than receiving" thing you probably heard from your mom as a kid. I think it will work. It does for me.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Feel free to make yourself be something you are not though. Delusions run rampant in those on the left.

You are probably one of the MAGA who practically guaranteed that Americans would be kidnapped and beheaded, so I have my doubts about the accuracy of your claims, predictions, and assertions about Afghanistan.

Once again, the best proof we have that the Afghanistan withdrawal was not the epic clusterfuck for the ages MAGA claimed it was is that Republicans aren't making it much of a campaign issue.

Demand your government send Thai soldiers to liberate Afghanistan if you are so keen on it

We spent 20 training the Afghan army and yet they melted away without hardly firing a shot. That's not an issue the American army can fix.

This General knows it was a disaster.

We pulled the rug out from under their air support. When they had it they fought. They lost 45k soldiers so its not like they weren't willing to fight if properly supported.

So we turn and run and abandon those that fought beside us . Shameful.

Afghan interpreter for US Army was beheaded by Taliban. Others fear they will be hunted down too

Do you believe your fate is determined by forces beyond your control or do you believe you have choices?

You all said American citizens would be kidnapped and beheaded.

Now you're already walking back that claim.

The murder of one Afghan does not make an epic disaster for the ages, which is what MAGA was claiming a year ago.


It was conservatives who complained about letting too many Afghan refugees into the USA.
Probably because they are not white and Christian.

The best proof we have that the Afghanistan withdrawal was not an epic and historic clusterfuck is that Republicans aren't even making it a significant campaign issue.
