yeh the Chemical Corps moved from Fort McClellan to Fort Leonard Wood Mo., because Fort McClellan was kind'a messed up.

Over 600,000 troops were exposed between 1927 and 1999 to an array of toxins. They received exposure both through direct exposure or indirect exposure. The direct exposure was in chemical weapons training. The indirect exposure was through the air, soil, and water that the toxins polluted. The pollution came from both the installation and the nearby Monsanto plant. Monsanto settled a class-action lawsuit with the local community residents of Anniston, AL in 2003, but veterans who lived and trained at the fort were not included in that lawsuit.

"We have to wear masks if we cut our grass. Where else in the United States of America are people doing that?"

Monsanto and its corporate spin-off, called Solutia, agreed to pay $700 million in damages and clean-up costs to the community.

Many woman died of cancer.

Do you have / can you share any more of your visision?
Whatt do you mean by "dramatic"? All residents have to move? Or, what. Thanks much, hope you see this question.

The cash was in denominations of $20's? The lawyers took most of it



Solutia, Inc. and Monsanto, Co. have agreed to pay $700 million to settle claims by more than 20,000 Anniston residents

The agreement, which will end a long-running trial in state court over decades –old pollution from a chemical plant in the east Alabama city, includes payments to homeowners and cash to fund a PCB research laboratory, lawyers for the residents said in a statement.

The two companies said the settlement calls for $600 million in cash. Monsanto will pay $390 million, Solutia will pay $50 million and the rest will be covered by insurance, according to a statement from Monsanto.

Well it was difficult to cover up when many of the Army folks had cancer.

Plus over 90% of the 20,000 citizens had cancer.


Thank you for service, the army folks never received a dime.


The water was so contaminated back in the 70's

I was stationed there in 1977 - 1978 in Womans Army Corp.

Would you like to share the good, bad and ugly.

TOXIC WATER / SOIL

I'm pretty sure north of there (but still in AL) is some bad shit too

I forget exactly where and what, but I'm tempted to say radioactive dumps along or relatively around the water

I read there was tons of Agent orange at that facility.

Something I believe I recall being manmade and heavily toxic

What other weapons of mass destruction was stored in Alabama?

I went there for chemical school.

have had adverse effects.

Were the soldiers experimented on with these chemicals? How many died of cancer?

So it never ends.

Home of the military police actually....
Trained there in the 80s

Your link doesn't work...page cannot be found...please explain, as I homestead in near by st Clair county. I know someone who works on weapons amf such at the anniston army depot there

No surprise. These hillbillies still actually defend Monsanto... They believe the lies they've been told decades...Monsanto is big in Alabama!! The state Has a contract to spray EVERY SINGLE ROADSIDE IN ALABAMA with MONSANTOS ROUND UP!!! I moved to this shithole seven years ago to homestead from Ohio. Never dreamed the corruption, hypocrisy and evil would be in such an ultra conservative state...goes WAY BEYOND what they hate liberals for. !!!! I've been stuck behind those big trucks several times that spray it!! Everything is dead from around 8 feet down on roads...its absolutely horrific..looks terrible..then wildlife eat those plants ..then idiot hunters eat the deer here.... Round up is proven to cause huge cancer tumors in deer and such. Monsanto has to be one of the most evil companies that ever existed except maybe DuPont.

These southern people just automatically say if someone dies that it was time for god to take them home...I've seen it many times. These morons don't Use seat belts ...one time a young mother and two children died in a wreck..they collided with an old man in a truck...the children were six months and age four...all of them died ...NOT EVEN THE BABIES had seat belts or car seats...nobody..all four people died. Comments on the post was nothing but , " its OK they went home with Jesus" and " it was their time " and all kinds of religious b.s. ..not one stinking word about the mothers neglect. Ive seen animals much better mothers than these trash..not joking. But its normal here!!!!!! I am still stunned at how people are here , seven years after moving here.
