Your bedsheets being folded accurate to the micron doesn't mean that you aren't dumping hydrazine in the river.
Do you have any idea how strictly inforced and followed hazmat regulations are in the military? They'd fine the unit thousands if a single glove with fuel on it wasn't disposed of properly. Inspections are frequent and random.
Quit your bullshit we weren't dumping chemicals into a water supply, could barely throw our napkins away without asking LS2 for a plastic bag and a marker jfc.
If they're so strictly enforced then how does this happen? Were you applying the same standards in Afghanistan?
Add to that various stuff you did in the past and don't want to clean up. Ramstein is drenched in PFAS. Pacific Islands are drenched in radioactivity and Agent Orange.
