Podcasts about Balad

Episode Summary    Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Alexander Villahermosa, a neurosurgery resident at UT Health San Antonio and former 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Motivated by the events of 9/11, he enlisted with an 18 X-ray contract, embarking on a remarkable journey that took him from the battlefield to the operating room. Dr. Villahermosa shares stories from his deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other austere environments, highlighting how mentorship from military physicians in Balad inspired him to pursue a medical degree.    Dr. Villahermosa provides a candid look at the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), detailing his experience as part of its second class. He discusses the academic challenges of transitioning from an operational tempo to learning calculus and hard sciences, and how the program's cohort-based support system prepares active-duty soldiers for the rigors of medical school at the Uniformed Services University.   The discussion moves to the intense reality of surgical residency, where days often start at 4:00 AM and involve complex perioperative care. Dr. Villahermosa highlights the unique perspective military training brings to civilian medicine, specifically the ability to operate without advanced navigation technology—a skill emphasized by military mentors who understand downrange limitations. He also shares insights on "expectation management" regarding physical fitness while maintaining a grueling training schedule.   Finally, Dr. Villahermosa reflects on leadership lessons learned while rising from the rank of Master Sergeant to Captain, emphasizing that mentorship and staying humble are keys to success. He concludes with a crucial medical takeaway for combat medics: the best brain care starts with the basics of airway, respiration, and circulation as outlined in TCCC guidelines.     Chapters (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care   Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic Dr. Villahermosa describes enlisting after 9/11 with the initial intent of joining the infantry, only to switch to an 18X contract to avoid a long wait for basic training. He recounts his deployments to Iraq and how mentorship from a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist in Balad first sparked his interest in becoming a physician. (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 This section covers the process of completing undergraduate prerequisites through the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), including the challenges of mastering mathematics and hard sciences. Dr. Villahermosa explains how the program's cohort system and partnership with the Uniformed Services University provided the structure and support necessary for success. (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality Initially uninterested in surgery, Dr. Villahermosa describes falling in love with the specialty during a third-year clerkship after being fascinated by spine and trauma cases. He details the daily grind of residency, which involves early mornings, long hours, and the need to seize small windows of time for physical fitness and self-care. (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training The discussion focuses on the specific mindset instilled by military neurosurgeons, such as the ability to perform spine surgery using anatomic landmarks rather than relying solely on advanced navigation systems. This training ensures readiness for deployed environments where high-tech equipment may not be available or functional. (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care Dr. Villahermosa reflects on the importance of humility and teamwork, noting that, regardless of rank or experience, there is always something to learn from others. He concludes by emphasizing that the best initial care for traumatic brain injury is adherence to TCCC protocols, specifically preventing hypotension and hypoxia.   Take Home Messages The Power of Mentorship: Career paths are often significantly altered by leaders who take the time to invest in their subordinates and encourage them to pursue higher goals. Dr. Villahermosa's journey to medical school began specifically because a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist took him under their wing during a combat deployment. Leaders should actively identify and encourage potential in those they lead, as this support can fundamentally change the trajectory of a service member's life. Back to Basics for Brain Injury: The most effective initial treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) lies in the fundamental principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Preventing secondary brain injury caused by hypotension and hypoxia is critical, meaning that controlling hemorrhage and managing the airway are the best ways to protect the brain in the pre-hospital setting. Providers should trust these protocols rather than feeling helpless without advanced neurosurgical capabilities, as stabilizing the patient's physiology is the first step in saving the brain. Operating in Austere Environments: While modern civilian neurosurgery often relies on advanced navigation technology and robotics, military surgeons must maintain the skill to operate using anatomic landmarks. Dr. Villahermosa highlights that downrange environments may lack functional high-tech equipment, making it essential to master manual techniques for spine and brain procedures. This training approach ensures that military surgeons remain adaptable and can deliver life-saving care regardless of the resources available in the field. Resilience Through Expectation Management: Surviving a demanding residency program or rigorous military training requires adjusting one's expectations regarding fitness and rest. Rather than waiting for large blocks of free time that may never come, trainees must learn to seize small, available moments for self-care, whether that is a short fifteen-minute run or catching up on sleep. Taking advantage of these brief breaks when they present themselves is crucial for maintaining long-term physical and mental performance when the schedule is unpredictable. Humility and Teamwork in Leadership: Success in high-stakes environments like the military and medicine demands humility and the recognition that no single person knows everything. Dr. Villahermosa emphasizes that rank and experience do not preclude the need to learn from others, including the newest members of the team who may bring fresh perspectives. Acknowledging one's role within the larger mission fosters a collaborative environment that improves patient outcomes and ensures the job gets done effectively.   Episode Keywords special forces medic, green beret, neurosurgery resident, military medicine, combat medic, trauma surgery, medical school, emdp2, enlisted to medical degree, uniformed services university, 18 delta, surgical training, traumatic brain injury, TCCC, tactical combat casualty care, military podcast, veteran stories, medical career, doctor journey, Brooke Army Medical Center, UT health San Antonio, neurosurgeon training, army special operations, combat veteran, medicine podcast, army doctor   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Stopa, kterou zanechal Karel Jaromír Erben v české kultuře a historii, je mnohem hlubší než jen otisk jedné, jakkoli geniální sbírky balad Kytice. Revidoval, utřídil a popsal archivy šlechtických rodů na českém venkově, mnoho let vedl archiv hl. města Prahy. Neúnavně sbíral a vydával české lidové písně a pohádky; jeho soubor „Prostonárodní české písně a říkadla“ patří k opěrným sloupům celé české folkloristiky. Zemřel 21. listopadu 1870.Všechny díly podcastu Příběhy z kalendáře můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

*) Ballistic missile attack on Russia will trigger nuclear retaliation — Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin approved an updated nuclear doctrine, signalling Moscow might use nuclear weapons in response to conventional missile strikes supported by nuclear powers. The revision, prompted by US approval for Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, comes on the 1,000th day of the Russia-Ukraine war. The updated policy considers attacks with conventional weapons, drones, or aircraft as potential triggers for a nuclear response. Additionally, aggression by a coalition member state would be treated as aggression by the entire coalition. *) Israel bombs Gaza home, leaving a dozen Palestinians dead Israeli air strikes hit a Joudeh family home in Gaza's Jabalia al-Balad, killing at least 12 Palestinians and leaving 10 missing, witnesses report. Journalist Hossam Shabat, named on an Israeli hit list, was injured in another attack. “I was deliberately targeted,” Shabat shared, recalling chaos and carnage as he responded to survivors before another bomb struck. *) Biden failed Gaza, stood by Israel blindly: White House staff White House staffers criticise President Joe Biden over Palestine's Gaza, citing his failure to enforce an ultimatum requiring Israel to ease the humanitarian crisis or face arms restrictions, according to a report by Politico. A letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had set a 30-day deadline for measures like allowing 350 aid trucks into Gaza daily. Despite the deadline passing, Biden reaffirmed the US's "ironclad" support for Israel. Meanwhile, the Senate is set to vote on blocking $20B in arms sales amid global criticism of civilian harm. *) Pakistan launches anti-terror operation amid rising attacks Pakistan has launched a major military operation against separatist groups in the southwest region, including the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). This comes after a recent surge in attacks, including a deadly suicide bombing at a train station. The operation aims to target groups responsible for targeting civilians and disrupting the country's economic progress. *) Türkiye aims to double down on African trade Türkiye is setting its sights on a significant boost in trade with Africa, aiming to reach a staggering $50 billion. This ambitious goal, nearly ten times the 2003 figure, is a testament to the growing economic ties between the two regions. Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz emphasised Türkiye's commitment to supporting Africa's development, highlighting Turkish investments and projects across the continent. With increased diplomatic efforts and a focus on key sectors like agriculture, energy, and technology, Türkiye is poised to strengthen its partnership with African nations.

*) ​​Israel kills 29 Palestinians in northern Gaza strikes At least 29 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, as the army continues its massive offensive, now in its 18th day, in northern Gaza. Artillery shelling targeted a school sheltering displaced civilians near Birket Abu Rashid in Jabalia, killing seven people and injuring dozens. According to witnesses, civilians gathered upon Israeli military orders at the UN-run Kreism School when an Israeli tank fired a shell towards them. Six people were also killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of civilians filling water containers in Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza. *) Blinken heads again for Middle East to push for Gaza truce US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is back again in the Middle East to push for a Gaza ceasefire two weeks before the US elections. This will be his 11th trip to the region since Israel's war on Gaza broke out a year ago, without any results. Ahead of the trip, US President Joe Biden called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him for his actions in Gaza and Lebanon even as Israel has received widespread condemnation for its genocidal war in the besieged Palestinian enclave. Meanwhile, last week, Pentagon announced the deployment to Israel of a THAAD anti-missile system battery and a crew of US military personnel. *) Australian senator to King Charles: 'Give us what you stole from us' An Indigenous senator in Australia told King Charles III that Australia is not his land and the monarch was not needed as the British royal visited Australia's parliament. Indigenous independent Senator Lidia Thorpe was escorted out of a parliamentary reception for the royal couple after shouting that British colonisers had taken Indigenous land and bones. She lamented that British colonialism committed genocide against the indigenous people and shouted …. “Give us what you stole from us — our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty. We want a treaty.” *) Ukraine blasts UN chief for accepting BRICS summit invitation in Russia Ukraine's Foreign Ministry blasted UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for what it said was his acceptance of an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to a BRICS summit. Putin will host the 16th BRICS summit on Oct. 22-24 in Russia's city of Kazan, where 32 countries have confirmed their participation, with 24 being represented by their heads of state, while the remaining eight will send high-ranking officials. Major topics at the summit are likely to include economic cooperation, trade agreements and the challenges faced by BRICS members, such as geopolitical tensions, the global economic slowdown and climate change. Russia will likely highlight multilateralism, using the BRICS platform to counter Western-dominated global governance structures. *) Turkish Festival in Washington attracts thousands with rich cultural displays Thousands of people gathered in Washington, DC for the annual Turkish Festival, immersing themselves in a lively celebration of Turkish culture, featuring vibrant performances, traditional music, and authentic cuisine. Organised by the Turkish-American Association of Washington DC (ATA-DC), the festival took place on Pennsylvania Avenue, near the Capitol, offering a showcase of Türkiye's rich cultural heritage. Visitors were treated to a variety of performances, including traditional Turkish folk dancing, live Turkish folk music, and performances by musicians from the broader Turkish republics, all of which captivated the audience.

I first heard about burn pits from veterans when I was a pulmonary fellow at the Portland, VA. Our active duty military are often exposed to hazards when deployed, and the damage can be lifelong. Today I am joined by Captain Le Roy Torres and his wife Rosie Torres, the founders of of Burn Pits 360. They share their experience and journey through its ups and downs, from Balad, Iraq to the emergency room to the operating room to camping on the steps of the Capitol with Jon Stewart.  What Can You Do? Look up your Senator and Representative and tell them that you are someone who wants to ensure that our soldiers and veterans receive the healthcare they need both during and after their service. Ask them what they are doing about clean air for all. November 11th is Veteran's Day. Make sure you thank a veteran for their service. Depending on when you listen to this, there may be an election coming up. Be sure to vote for those who will support strong environmental and respiratory protections for our veterans as well as all of our communities.  Go to BurnPits360.org if this issue speaks to you or you want to learn more, including seeing the resources that they have put together, like those mentioned in this podcast. If you work in healthcare, educate yourself about how people may be affected and be sure to ask if your patients have a history of military service. See the show post for some resources. Consider a donation to BurnPits360 to help other veterans and their families. *Finally, consider leaving this podcast a 5 star review wherever you listen. It will help other people discover the podcast and learn about the importance of clean air for all!

Phil Rababi Balad Pakhavaj, ਫੀਲੁ ਰਬਾਬੀ ਬਲਦੁ ਪਖਾਵਜ (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Page 477 Sabad 1222)

Un épisode qui telle une macédoine, offre une foule de saveurs variées allant d'Helen Faradji en visite à Cannes, de Mathieu Bélisle nommé penseur en résidence à la Licorne, de Coralie LaPerrière qui chronique sur le pragmatisme ou encore le chercheur Lucas Bergeron qui nous partage ses travaux sur la grand-parentalité. Et en conclusion, une intervention de la progéniture savardienne !

   Step into the world of military and civilian medical excellence as we share the stage with Dr. Peggy Knudsen, a leading trauma surgeon whose work bridges these two critical spheres. Her journey from a Minnesota mining town to the front lines of trauma surgery reveals the profound impact of military-civilian partnerships in healthcare. Through stories of her time in Iraq and Germany, Dr. Knudsen unravels the complexities of trauma care and the incredible strides made possible by the collaboration between military-civilian expertise and innovation.    Imagine stepping off a plane and straight into an active war zone as a civilian surgeon. Our latest episode brings that reality to light, showcasing civilian surgeons who volunteered to serve in military hospitals during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Their integration into military teams and the skills honed in the heat of battle are not only harrowing tales of service but also invaluable learning experiences that have reshaped their professional and personal lives. Join us as we examine the rigorous process that prepared these civilians for the battlefield, and the indelible mark it left on their approach to surgery back home. These civilian heroes didn't just bring their expertise to the theater of war; they returned with invaluable insights that have since transformed the landscape of civilian trauma care.     We address the evolving landscape of trauma medicine, where military innovations have found their place in our local hospitals. Dr. Knudsen sheds light on the importance of programs like Stop the Bleed and the pioneering strategies of damage control resuscitation, illustrating the profound influence of military protocols on saving lives in civilian emergencies. As we consider the future readiness of military medical professionals, she eloquently speaks to the importance of ongoing collaboration to maintain a high standard of combat casualty care, ensuring that, even in peacetime, our surgeons are prepared for the realities of war. Her experiences offer a unique lens on the Excelsior Surgical Society's role in nurturing military surgeons' professional development, painting a vivid picture of how these collaborations are pivotal in advancing modern trauma systems.    As we face concerns over a potential decline in deployment experience among military medical personnel, Dr. Knudsen sheds light on collaborative efforts to ensure that the next generation of military surgeons retains the expertise necessary for future combat casualty care. It's an enlightening discussion that solidifies the critical nature of these ongoing partnerships in trauma care.   Chapters: (00:04) Military-Civilian Partnerships in Trauma Care (11:56) Civilian Surgeons in War Zones (24:22) Improving Trauma Care Through Military-Civilian Partnerships (31:42) Military-Civilian Trauma Care Partnerships   Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Military-Civilian Partnerships in Trauma Care Dr. Peggy Knudsen's journey in trauma surgery, her role in pediatric surgery, and the importance of military-civilian partnerships in advancing trauma care.   (11:56) Civilian Surgeons in War Zones Civilian surgeons volunteered in military hospitals during Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, learning from and working with military personnel.   (24:22) Improving Trauma Care Through Military-Civilian Partnerships Military trauma care advancements, tourniquet use, damage control resuscitation, burn care improvements, and preserving surgical skills through partnerships.   (31:42) Military-Civilian Trauma Care Partnerships Firsthand trauma experience, military-civilian partnerships, and readiness of trauma community to respond to large-scale operations.   Take Home Messages: Civilian and military trauma care partnerships are critical for advancing modern trauma systems and ensuring readiness for future conflicts. Civilian surgeons gain transformative experiences and valuable insights from volunteering in war zones, which they bring back to improve civilian trauma care. Military innovations, such as the use of tourniquets and damage control resuscitation, have significantly influenced trauma care protocols in civilian medical practice. The integration of civilian medical expertise with military precision has led to life-saving advancements in trauma care and emergency response strategies. Collaborative efforts between professional medical societies and the Department of Defense are essential for maintaining and reinforcing combat casualty care knowledge among military medical professionals. The importance of programs like Stop the Bleed is highlighted, aiming to educate the public on life-saving techniques that stem from military medical practices. Trauma medicine is constantly evolving, with military medical protocols being adapted for use in civilian emergencies, underscoring the need for continuous learning and adaptation. Active-duty military surgeons benefit from being integrated into civilian trauma centers, helping them stay deployment-ready and enhancing their trauma care skills. The Mission Zero Act plays a role in funding military-civilian trauma care partnerships, aiming to improve preparedness and response capabilities in both military and civilian settings. The trauma community is committed to responding to large-scale military operations, showcasing the readiness and willingness of civilian surgeons to support military efforts when necessary.

Al-Balad  البلد, "The City" is the 90th Surah or chapter of the Qur'an. It is composed of 20 verses Summary 1-7 Man, though created in misery, yet boasts of his riches 8-16 Captives to be freed and the poor and orphan to be fed 17-20 Description of the companions of the right and left hand The subject matter and style of Qur'anic chapter al balad resemble those of the earliest Surahs revealed at Mecca,[2] but it contains a pointer which indicates that it was sent down in the period when the disbelievers of Makkah had resolved to oppose Muhammad, and made it lawful for themselves to commit tyranny and excess against him In this Surah a vast subject has been compressed into a few brief sentences, and it is a miracle of the Quran that a complete ideology of life which could hardly be explained in a thick volume has been abridged most effectively in brief sentences of this short Surah. Its theme is to explain the true position of man in the world and of the world in relation to man and to tell that God has shown to man both the highways of good and evil, has also provided for him the means to judge and see and follow them, and now it rests upon mans own effort and judgment whether he chooses the path of virtue and reaches felicity or adopts the path of vice and meets with doom First, the city of Makkah and the hardships being faced therein by the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) and the state of the children of Adam have been cited as a witness to the truth that this world is not a place of rest and ease for man, where he might have been born to enjoy life, but here he has been created into toil and struggle. If this theme is read with verse 39 of Surah An-Najm (Laisa lil insani illa ma saa : there is nothing for man but what he has striven for), it becomes plain that in this world the future of man depends on his toil and struggle, effort and striving After this, man's misunderstanding that he is all in all in this world and that there is no superior power to watch what he does and to call him to account, has been refuted Then, taking one of the many moral concepts of ignorance held by man, as an example, it has been pointed out what wrong criteria of merit and greatness he has proposed for himself in the world The person who for ostentation and display squanders heaps of wealth, not only himself prides upon his extravagances but the people also admire him for it enthusiastically, whereas the Being Who is watching over his deeds, sees by what methods he obtained the wealth and in what ways and with what motives and intention he spent it Then Allah says: We have given man the means of knowledge and the faculties of thinking and understanding and opened up before him both the highways of virtue and vice: one way leads down to moral depravity, and it is an easy way pleasing for the self; the other way leads up to moral heights, which is steep like an uphill road, for scaling which man has to exercise self- restraint It is man's weakness that he prefers slipping down into the abyss to scaling the cliff Then, Allah has explained what the steep road is by following which man can ascend to the heights It is that he should give up spending for ostentation, display and pride and should spend his wealth to help the orphans and the needy, should believe in Allah and His Religion and joining the company of believers should participate in the construction of a society which should fulfill the demands of virtue and righteousness patiently and should be compassionate to the people The end of those who follow this way is that they would become worthy of Allah's mercies On the contrary, the end of those who follow the wrong way, is the fire of Hell from which there is no escape

IHC Classes - درووس التراث, [Dec 11, 2023 at 1:22 PM] 

On October 7th, Hamas fighters breached the militarized fence separating the occupied Gaza strip from Israeli communities in the south, killing 1400 people and taking 200 hostages. Israel immediately retaliated with severe bombardment of the Gaza strip that, at the time of this writing, has killed 7000 people. In the West Bank, settler violence and army raids have also killed dozens of Palestinians, and Palestinian citizens of Israel as well as leftist Israelis have been arrested for speaking out. While the world is currently transfixed by what's happening in Israel-Palestine, this story did not begin on October 7th. Joey Ayoub and Daniel Voskoboynik are joined by Dana El Kurd, Orly Noy, and Yair Wallach to think through this moment, process our grief together, and articulate alternative visions for both peoples. We focused on three themes: a) Grief, b) Thinking Through This Moment, c) What can be done? This will be the first of many episodes on post-October 7th Israel-Palestine. Dana El-Kurd is a researcher in political science, and an assistant professor at the University of Richmond. Works on state-society relations in the Arab world with topics like authoritarianism and international intervention. She has published in peer-reviewed journals and she is also the author of "Polarized and Demobilized: Legacies of Authoritarianism in Palestine." A regular guest of TFTT, Dana has recently co-written an essay with Leila Al-Shami, Joey Ayoub and Romeo Kokriatski for the South/South Movement entitled "A view of anti-imperialism from the periphery." Orly Noy is an editor at Local Call, a Hebrew-language news site committed to democracy, peace, equality, social justice, transparency, freedom of information and resisting the occupation. She is also a political activist with the Balad political party, and a translator of Farsi poetry and prose. She is the chair of B'Tselem's executive board. Her writing deals with the lines that intersect and define her identity as Mizrahi, a female leftist, a woman, a temporary migrant living inside a perpetual immigrant, and the constant dialogue between them. She recently published a piece for 972Mag and Local Call entitled "Enough with the warlords. There is another way." Yair Wallach is a social and cultural historian of modern Palestine/Israel at SOAS, University of London, studying the entangled and relational histories of Jews and Palestinians. He is also the author of the 2020 book "A City in Fragments: Urban Text in Modern Jerusalem" and has most recently published in The New Statesman a piece entitled: "The deadly logic of the existential war: Warnings that the escalating Israel-Hamas conflict is heading towards genocide should be heeded."

This is Part 2 of my interview with Army Brigadier General (Ret) Chris Petty.  After leaving the Active Duty Army in 1991, Gen Petty joined the Colorado Army National Guard and took command of C Company, 1/131st Aviation Regiment in Eagle, CO.  That unit ran the High Altitude Aviation Training Site or HAATS.  In 1994, he moved to Buckley Air National Guard Base and assumed command of A Company, 2/135th Aviation Battalion.  After getting promoted to Major in 1996, he became the Battalion Assistant S3.  After 18 months, he was reassigned to become the Deputy Commander of the Colorado Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Response Team, which was later renamed to the Civil Support Team (CST).  After two years, he left to go back to the Guard and took over as the 2/135th Battalion S3.  His next assignment was as the Headquarters Commandant of the Joint Force Headquarters of Colorado.  Later, he assumed command of 2nd Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment and in 2006, he led the Battalion's deployment to Balad, Iraq, supporting Joint Special Operations Command.

Ryan Stovall joined The Protectors® to talk about his poetry collection Black Snowflakes Smothering A Torch: How to Talk to Your Veteran, working in a combat hospital, Balad burn pits, his writing career, and a ton more.  About Ryan: Ryan Stovall is a former adventurer, world traveler, and Green Beret twice decorated for valor and awarded two Purple Hearts, whose poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction can be found in numerous journals and anthologies.About BLACK SNOWFLAKES: A primer serving to facilitate dialogue between those who have experienced the crushing arms of war and those who have not, at its foundation Black Snowflakes Smothering a Torch presupposes that many issues veterans face when reintegrating come not from the veteran's traumas but from the hypocrisies inherent to American civilian culture itself. As such Black Snowflakes represents an invaluable starting point, one that will serve as both a reference for civilians seeking to understand and as a voice for veterans hoping to explain.Support the showMake sure to check out Jason on IG @drjasonpiccoloJason's book, UNWAVERING is out now!

In this special episode, Captain Torres explains how landfill-like burn pits in Iraq gave him a chronic lung injury and a toxic brain injury.  Captain Le Roy Torres served in the U.S. Army Reserve for 24 years, and spent a year on duty in Balad, Iraq. While there, Torres lived and worked in close proximity to a burn pit. These burn pits act as landfills, where everything from trash, to jet fuel, to medical waste was burned. They were extremely large, and the one near CPT Torres was approximately 10 acres in diameter. It burned 24/7, pumping toxic chemicals and smoke into the air, and into the lungs of soldiers. As a result of breathing in these fumes, CPT Torres developed chronic lung and brain injuries, which forced him to visit the hospital over 400 times in 10 years. Burn Pits 360 was founded by Torres and his wife in an attempt to improve post-deployment health outcomes for veterans, especially those caused by the burn pits. Recently, they helped pass the PACT Act, which expands benefits for veterans who were exposed to the burn pits.  You can find CPT Torres on Twitter at @leroytorres01
