Marine Corps Busted Over Benzene Contamination at Lejeune

We really should support our troops, and its a damned shame if a Marine base was deliberately neglected at the expense of exposure for the men, women and children who lived and worked at this base.

(CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.) – We have been writing for years about the plight of sick and dying Marines who were stationed at the now-closed El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Southern California, and the active base, Camp Lejuene in North Carolina. A few months ago, the DoD put together a panel of scientists who claimed that all previous data on Lejeune was no longer valid[1].

Since that point, senators and aggressive Veterans Advocates like former Camp Lejeune Marine Jerry Ensminger and Camp Lejeune breast cancer Survivor Mike Partain, have kept the pressure on government officials up. Soon there was another turnaround, as information surfaced that the Marines had essentially, paid for more favorable reports[2].

Today The Associated Press shocked the nation by revealing that, “An environmental contractor dramatically underreported the level of a cancer-causing chemical found in tap water at Camp Lejeune, then omitted it altogether as the Marine base prepared for a federal health review.”

The AP cites how the Marine Corps was warned nearly a decade earlier about the dangerously high levels of benzene. This chemical is connected to massive leaks from base fuel tanks, according to recently disclosed studies.

The truth as it was revealed today, is that Benzene has been killing these Marines, and the information was revealed through part of the broader, ongoing investigation of the contamination[6].
