Afai oi ai se vaega o tagata Amelika o tagata Iraqis o loʻo tauivi ma aʻafiaga o le ola maloloina o uranium paʻu, paluga pupuʻu, fuālaʻau paʻepaʻe, ma vailaʻau eseese uma o taua, e ono sili atu ona paʻu ma sili atu ona leaga tagata Gibsland, i matu Louisiana.
Lenei faʻafefea a op-ed i le Times Niu Ioka mai le tasi tagata nofomau e faamatalaina lo latou tulaga:
"Mo le tele o tausaga, o se tasi o sili ona tele galuega i lena eria o le Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, tusa o le fa maila mai Minden. O le Siosiomaga Puipuiga Ofisa mulimuli ane lisiina le laʻau o se Superfund 'upega tafaʻilagi ona mo le sili atu i le 40 tausaga' leai ni togafiti faʻafouina-mamafa vai mai galuega faʻatosina na aoina i sima sumps i vaega taʻitasi o uta uta ', ma faʻamamaina i le '16 tasi eka aloalo vai vai piniki. '”
Ma o lenei (mai Truthout.org):
"Ina ua mavae masina o feeseeseaiga a le malo i le va o le Vaegaau ma le setete ma le feterale, na faasilasila talu ai nei e le Environment Agency Protection Agency (EPA) se fuafuaga faafuasei e susunuina 15 miliona pauna o M6 - e oo i le 80,000 pauna i le aso i le faagasologa o le tausaga - tatala 'susunuina fata' i le Camp Minden, o se faʻagasologa o le faʻagasologa e fai mai le au siʻosiʻomaga e le o faʻatuai ma ua faʻasalalau i isi atunuu. O le taotoga o le a avea ma se tasi o laupepa pito sili ona tele e mumu i le talafaasolopito o Amerika. "
I taimi taʻitasi - i tafatafa o Vieques poʻo Jeju Island poʻo Pagan Island - o faʻalapotopotoga o le siosiomaga o loʻo fetaiaʻi ma le tasi tulimanu o o le siosiomaga sili faʻaumatia. E ui o vaega tetele o le siʻosiʻomaga e foliga mai e ono fetaiaʻi ma le faʻavaeina o taua seʻia ova taimi, e tatau ona tatou faʻaaogaina nei avanoa e faʻamalosiau ai ia latou. Aua latou te alu pea le militeri i luga o lenei mu. E toʻatele sui tuai o le militeri a Amerika e mafai ona taʻuina atu ia latou aʻafiaga o le mu i fafo atu, lea e taʻua e le au fitafita o “le Agent Orange fou. ” E mafai e le EPA ona faʻatumuina le au faʻatosina mai i luga o ai na faia le tele o faʻalavelave tau siosiomaga i totonu o le Iunaite Setete. Fautuaga: E amata i le mil ma solo ma le nofo toʻatasi.
O se mafuaʻaga taua i tua atu o taua o le manaʻo e faʻatonutonu punaoa e oona le lalolagi, aemaise lava le suauʻu ma kesi. O lena mea moni, e masani ona natia, e tatau ona feagai ma tatou o loʻo popole mo le lalolagi i le lumanaʻi. O taua e le puipuia tatou ae ia lamatia i tatou, e le augatupulaga o le feitagaʻi ma le faʻaleagaina o le tatou paneta. O le gaosiga o le militeli sili ona tele a le lalolagi, e leʻo se puipuiga pe a oʻo mai se taua lelei, ae o le mea tonu na lapataʻi mai ai Eisenhower, ose tupuʻaga o taua. O le $ 1 piliona a le Iunaite Setete lafo i totonu o le taua masini i tausaga taʻitasi e manaʻomia mo le puipuiga vave o le siosiomaga. Ma o sauniuniga sauniuniga e faʻaalu e le faʻamaoaigaina ai i tatou; ia faʻaleagaina i matou aʻo faʻamamafaina le oa mai nofoaga e pei o Gibsland. Ole tele naʻese o itu i lalo mo se faʻalapotopotoga e ana le mea autu o le fasiotia le toatele o tagata mama ao aveeseina ese a matou saolotoga lautele.
Ae, toe foi atu i le siosiomaga i lalo. Ma suauʻu. O le suāuu e mafai ona faʻamalo pe susunuina, e pei o le Gulf War, ae faʻaaogaina i ituaiga uma masini e faʻaleagaina le atemosifia o le lalolagi, tuʻuina i tatou uma i se tulaga lamatia. O nisi e aofia ai le faʻaaogaina o le suauʻu ma le manatu o le mamalu ma le lototoa o le taua, ina ia mafai ai ona faʻaleleia malosiaga e le lamatia ai le faʻalavelave o le lalolagi, o ni auala faʻavalevalea ma le le faʻapitoa e faʻafefe ai a tatou masini. O le faʻasalalau o taua ma le suauu e sili atu nai lo lena. O taua lava ia, tusa lava pe tau pe leai foi mo le suauʻu, e faʻaaogaina ai le tele o lona taua. O se tasi o tagata aupito maualuga o le lalolagi o le suauu, o le mea moni, o le militeri US.
O le militeri a Amerika ua susunuina tusa o le 340,000 paelo o suauʻu i aso uma. Afai o le Pentagon o se atunuʻu, o le a tulaga 38th mai 196 i le suauʻu faʻaaogaina. E leai lava seisi faʻalapotopotoga e sau latalata i le militeli i lenei poʻo isi ituaiga o faʻatafunaga o le siosiomaga. (Ae taumafai e suʻe lena mea moni i le savali anti-pipeline.)
O le siosiomaga pei ona tatou iloa o le a le sao mai le taua o le taua. Atonu foi e le o ola i le taua "masani," o lona uiga o ituaiga o taua o loo taaalo nei. O faʻaleagaga leaga ua maeʻa ona faia e taua ma suʻesuʻega, suʻega, ma gaosiga na faia i sauniuniga mo taua. O taua i tausaga talu ai nei na tuʻuina atu ai le tele o nofoaga e le nonofo faʻatasi ma maua ai le fiasefulu miliona o sulufaʻi. Taua "e osofaia ai le faamai pipisi e avea o se mafuaʻaga lautele o le pagatia ma le ola faaletino," e tusa ai ma le Jennifer Leaning of Harvard Medical School.
Masalo o auupega pito sili ona matautia na tuua i tua e taua o miti eleele ma le pusafana. E fiasefulu miliona i latou o loʻo taʻoto faʻatasi i luga o le fogaeleele, e le amanaiaina so o se faʻasalalauga ua faʻaalia le filemu. O le tele o latou tagata afaina o tagata lautele, o se pasene tele oi latou o tamaiti.
E ese le manaia o le i ai o faʻalapotopotoga i le taimi nei ma luʻitauina vaega faapitoa o le faʻaumatiaga o taua. Lalo o se tusi e faapea o filemu uma ma le siosiomaga ma le filemu-siosiomaga i totonu o le lalolagi e tatau ona sainia i luga:

RE: Faʻatūina le susunuina o le susunuina o M6 tagata e nonofo i Camp Minden, Louisiana
Pele Pule Fesoasoani Giles,
O matou, o sui ua le o auai, auai atu i le au Louisiana, tagata faigaluega ma aiga i lo latou valaau mo se saogalemu sili atu i le tatalaina o le susunuina o otaota matautia i Camp Minden.
Matou te tetee i le fuafuaga a le US Environmental Protection Agency i le OPEN BURN 15 miliona pauna o tagata taʻavale M6 tuulafoaʻi i Camp Minden, Louisiana. I le faauigaina, o le susunuina o le afi e leai ni mea e taofiofi ai ma o le a iu i le le taofiofia o le faamatuu atu o mea matautia oona ma manava auiliili i le siosiomaga. O le M6 e aofia ai le 10 pasene dinitrotoluene (DNT) lea e faʻavasegaina e pei o se tino o le tino o le tino .1
O popolega mo le ono tulai mai o le soifua maloloina o tagata e mafua mai i le susunuina ma le susunuina o otaota faapea foi ma aafiaga o le siosiomaga i luga o le ea, palapala, ma le vai, e manaomia ai le militeri e faailoa ma atinae ni auala e tatala ai le susunuina / tatala otaota .2 E le gata i lea, O le fuafuaga a le EPA e maua ai le saogalemu ma le faʻafefe i se nofoaga vevela, o nei otaota e mafai ona faʻaosoosoina i se isi togafitiga togafitiga poʻo se faiga.
Aʻo matou lagolagoina le taumafaiga a le EPA e manaʻomia le US Army e faʻamamā ma lafoai nei otaota leaga le teuina, matou te le lagolagoina le susunuina o le afi e avea o se fofo na maua ai le tulaga ma le aloese mai le soifua maloloina o le tagata ma le siosiomaga.
