I see he has airborne patches in those pics. My friend that served in Afghanistan developed two distinct and simultaneous brain tumors (ultra rare). I suspect it was the burn pits. He told me how he was burning hundreds of iPads and everything electronic in open pits there as they were pulling out and that the smoke screwed him up (he told me shortly after getting back). Then ten years later he's diagnosed with the brain tumors (now).

Burn pits? Burning iPads? Is this standard procedure? Just curious.
