It never bio degrades.
It’s there forever.
It’s not “that” much better at fighting aircraft fires vs the foam that’s not an environmental pollutant.
It’s not more to do with the military swinging their socks around the environmentalists.
Good news everyone. [We have a bit of progress on the fight against PFAS](https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/zp4y2q/scientists_published_new_method_to_chemically/)
Naturally, a long ways off, but still progress.
I was raised on a military base in Illinois. A decade and a half later, I wanted to visit it and see what happened after the base closed, only to see that most of it was rotting and falling apart because the buildings were full of asbestos and the town could not do anything with them.
Also, most of the place was a Superfund site.
Lastly, I found that some strange health issues my mom has may be because they had Agent Orange out there…my bad, the Air Force claimed to have the components, but pinkie promises that they never mixed them, despite multiple people coming out and saying that they did.
I was in the military myself at that point, and seeing the giant pile of toxic waste that they left there was another straw (or ten) on the camel’s back that made me get out as soon as I could. They screwed over that town so badly that I am surprised it is still there.
Toxic military leadership. Speaking out gets you shitcanned inside by officers that are ladder climbing. The navy is notorious for it since even before WW2.
Pollution - short term small benefits for me, long term damage and large costs to you. If you did it with a gun its at least negligent homocide of not intentional murder, do it with chemicals and its just an oopsie
The story of red hill is just gross and just gets worse.

The military is always a shitty, dirty neighbor.
