Veteran exposed to burn pits wins precedent-setting lawsuit
Last week in Texas, a jury ruled in favor of LeRoy Torres, a former army reservist exposed to toxic burn pits. The landmark case is seen as a major victory for veterans. William Brangham discussed the verdict with LeRoy’s wife, Rosie Torres. Together they founded Burn Pits 360, an organization advocating on behalf of veterans exposed to toxic environments.
