Vets still unable to sue Monsanto for toxic exposure. Ft. McClellan closed due to being a toxic wasteland. I was stationed there in the late 70's.
The Long Shadow of Fort McClellan
"Not only does Fort McClellan’s toxic résumé rival Camp Lejeune, N.C., where trichloroethylene (TCE) and other pollutants eventually forced VA to provide exposure-related health care to Marines, formerly serving Marines and families. But the combination of toxic chemicals from Monsanto, Fort McClellan and the Anniston Army Depot makes it the most contaminated place in the United States, says David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the State University of New York at Albany in Rensselaer."
VA RESPONSE: "Radioactive compounds (cesium-137 and cobalt-60) used in decontamination training activities in isolated locations on base.
Chemical warfare agents (mustard gas and nerve agents) used in decontamination testing activities in isolated locations on base.
Airborne polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the Monsanto plant in the neighboring town."
Toxic materials stored onbale: Agent Orange, Agent Blue (an even more deadly chemical than Agent Orange), the nerve agent sarin, depleted uranium and many other man-made toxins.
