How many of you former KBR drivers (outside-the-wire) remember having to stop just outside the wire at T.Q. at night during air target practice and having to smell the burn pit smoke and nothing you could do would stop the smell? Remember how putrid the smell was? How many times did we endure this toxic smoldering black lung coating, cancer causing, life ending plume that was as black as coal taken from the coal mines (black lung disease) in miners?
I remember while at Balad in the Bag-farm – I would never see the incinerators belching out smoke – the whole time I was there – it was only the Open Burn Pits up next to the fence-line – past the car-wash area. It only shows me just how little our lives meant to KBR over the $$$$$.
How many times have any of us heard (JUST ONE) former KBR Executive say – “We made many mistakes in Iraq/Afghanistan regarding the safety and welfare of our employees and military personnel”?
I personally believe that before they take their lofty positions – they have their beating hearts removed!!!
