These weapons of mass destruction virtually ring the country, concealed off at least 11 states - six on the East Coast, two on the Gulf Coast, California, Hawaii and Alaska. Few, if any, state officials were ever informed of their existence.

Just like we dumped old tires with the presumption they would be helping form reef cultures. NOPE. Alot was dumped especially in my Hawaii home, Micronesia and all over the Pacific Rim, Johnston Island too. The expectations were there was no impact to environments. Sadly, they have been mistaken. The water has deluged citizens living quiety on small islands with cancer, disease and lack of food supply.

nicely, i think of the federal government has too lots power in many cases, yet i'm no longer confident the states understand any further efficient. a great number of the themes with eminent area come from the states, no longer the federal government. The Hanford website could be wiped sparkling up, for confident. yet i think of that's stupid to chat approximately secession, it is not going to take place. of direction here in California we've a huge determination for emperor...

And why did we do it? what were we supposed to do with it? keep it around till it contaminates our drinking water on base? Seriously where do you think your poop goes eventually? right back in your mouth when you have a drink of water, or soda or anything.
And it wasn't really secretly, it just wasn't a public issue, it was back when we didn't have 40 news channels on TV looking for a story for ratings.
Go join the military and come back and consider how big of an issue this really is, seriously it's the only way you'll learn.

This is actually nothing new. I remember seeing filmstrips in school about the US dumping nuclear waste in the ocean in metal drums. The fact that the army dumped chemical weapons is just another variant.
The US is well known to dump hazardous waste out at sea during the first half of this century. Out of sight, out of mind.

After world war 1 everybody did it. It's not exactly a secret.

We're saving it for a rainy day. Probably along the Mexican border.
