TL;DR Summary

Newly uncovered military records reveal hazardous conditions at the Karshi-Khanabad air base in Uzbekistan, known as "K2," including enriched radioactive material and severe soil fuel contamination, potentially explaining rare illnesses among U.S. servicemembers deployed there after 9/11. Veterans advocate Mark T. Jackson claims the records are a "smoking gun" proving toxic exposure, while the U.S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs continue to assess the health effects of those deployed to K2. The government denies claims of yellowcake uranium presence at the base, but veterans seek evidence to support their medical diagnoses and treatment plans.
