Funny we have courts determining this instead of medical experts.

What you wrote has to be the stupidest thing I've read in a very long time. Years, possibly. Worse than the flat-earthers.

I think what Plavonica is saying is that it's pretty pathetic that you have to take things to court to get anything done. It's almost like it'd be better if people would take the information that a ton of people who worked at the burn pits are having lung issues, acknowledge that it was a stupid idea, and make things right.
Respirators that could have been worn during burns are sickeningly cheap, and finding out about it won't make the affected feel any better, but may help people in the future. As may safer disposal policies.

Yes, lets let lawyers decide what causes a disease. That's going to work out well.
