      "Yes, military bases have historically been intensive with toxic materials, and mostly above the few laws we actually have ... But it’s not necessarily more of a scandal than the private sector."

      "This is not just the fault of the current administration-the protections of the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, etc.have been eroded for years.But now they've stepped on the accelerator-driving us back to the 'good old days' when anything could be dumped into the air and water."

      "This horrific problem spreads beyond those who live on military bases. A Clovis, NM, dairy farmer has been dumping 15,000 gallons of milk every day and must euthanize his 4,000 cows because PFAS from nearby Cannon Air Force Base has poisoned his land, water, crops, livestock."

      "I have worked for the Danish government as a soil and water scientist, and a lot focus has gone in to how to handle PFAS...All of these efforts, and they can be quite extensive and costly, is to make sure no further contamination will happen."

      "I’d like to know which 55 military bases exposed soldiers and dependents to toxic chemicals. I suspect that I was poisoned on at least one of the seven I lived at as a child. It could be the cause of my failed thyroid, infertility and chronic autoimmune disease."

      "This is not just the military's making. Every airport and landing strip has this foam of contamination in varying degrees. The firefighting foam is widely used beyond military aircraft."
