There are a lot of neurotoxins in the smoke snd residue from burn pits just as there were from Agent Orange. I suspect that may have been partially what was wrong with my son. I though it was TBI from an undiagnosed brain injury (concussion bombs going off near him could have done that) but the more I learn about the burn pits the more I wonder about that. He was a mechanic and not supposed to be near fighting (ha!), but he could have been near burn pits every single day.
