The Iraqi and Afghan people are given very minimal attention, and, when they are, it is to scorn them for not being more grateful that the United States chose to occupy their country and try and make their country “safer” or “better”....This is typical of American war culture, which only gives importance to the American lives that are lost in war and to the suffering that American soldiers bring home with them as a result of war, explained Ross Caputi, a Marine who served in the Second Battle of Fallujah... Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, an environmental toxicologist, described how there are vacant military bases and abandoned sites with military vehicles, where toxins are seeping into the environment. The military dumped waste into large pits and then set the waste on fire. The pollution from the burnt waste entered the air. When it rained, it got into the water. It polluted the crops, which people would then digest when eating the crops.
