The Smell of Burning Flesh in the Morning
0|
I just read this fascinating story by Matt LaPlante in the Salt Lake Tribune. It’s about how one of the largest bases in Iraq burns all of its garbage and waste, which might even include amputated body parts, in an open pit. The thick black smoke from the burn pit is a landmark at Camp Anaconda.
When I read this, my first reaction was to start dry heaving. I was stationed at Camp Anaconda (or Balad Airbase) for one year. I’ve sucked down more of that smoke than I care to think about. I knew it was bad for my health, but I had no idea that there might be body parts in that smoke.
