Please find below a video of Kristen Meghan giving a talk, where she explains her role in the U.S. Air Force to track the use and disposal of hazardous materials. As a result of doing her job correctly, asking the right questions and insisting on the answers, she faced intimidation by senior officers.
As part of her speech, Kristen makes an extremely valid point about those that work in the military and who are aware of what is happening. How can you join the military and claim that you are prepared to go to war and give your life to protect your country, whilst simultaneously being too fearful to come forward and expose wrong doing to the people of your country during peace time? If service personnel are generally regarded to be brave people, why are they so scared to come forward on this issue? In the end, only time will tell. However, for those that have been involved, either directly or indirectly, the old excuse of following orders will not suffice. When the news finally does get out, the public will rightly insist upon an unrestricted criminal investigation and prosecution of all participants, whatever their level of involvement. Hopefully, it will also include the passive collaborators in parliament, local government, the scientific community and the media, who turn a blind eye to what is happening or who insist that there is no evidence, when they have conducted no meaningful investigations into what the evidence really is.
