I’m not familiar with Ohio village, but I grew up in unincorporated county land in the Texas boonies. My dad had a burn barrel, and would dump oil into the ground “putting it back from where it came”. Even as a kid, nothing about it felt right. Just that experience alone gives no doubt to service members working the burn pits qualifying for disability


To be fair at one point in time people were actually told to dispose of used oil by dumping it into some stony ground. I live in a rural area in the north and most people have burn barrels but 99.9% of people exclusively burn cardboard and paper.
