Recently, the Supreme Court sided with a Texas veteran who said he was discriminated by his employer, the State of Texas.
The veteran, Le Roy Torres, worked as a Texas State Trooper, as well as being enlisted in the Army Reserve.
During his time with the U.S. Army Reserve, he was exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq that damaged his lungs and subsequently led him to request a new job with the State of Texas as he was unable to perform his duties as a State Trooper.
The state denied his request, and Torres took his case to the Supreme Court.
The court ruled that Texas had no sovereign immunity over the case and was Torres was able to file suit.

With the imminent signing into law of the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 (H.R.3967), veterans exposed to toxic substances during their time in the military may be able to file claims for compensation from the United States Government.

The term burn pit refers to the sites the United States military uses for open-air trash combustion in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These large-scale burn pit operations are utilized to incinerate tons of pounds of waste every day.
This waste includes, but is not limited to:
Large black plumes of smoke emitted from the pits reportedly hangover military bases.
Members of the military exposed to the smoke from these pits have complained about similar medical problems following their exposure.
Military burn pit exposure has affected hundreds of veterans.
Victims have brought forward disability claims that say exposure to these open-air burn pits has led to numerous respiratory, pulmonary, and neurological problems.
Pressure from victims and their families has forced the Pentagon to restrict the use of burn pits while the Department of Veterans Affairs investigates the adverse effects.
Burn pit exposure could remain a problem today.
In April of 2019, the U.S. Central Command reported that nine burn pits were currently creating toxic smoke.
There are also a reported 13 burn pits with non-hazardous waste, and conditions could change if battlefield conditions are altered.
Military burn pit exposure can affect a person’s:

The VA’s Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry was created so eligible veterans and military personnel could document their health concerns and exposures to military burn pits.
The registry is open to those who served in:
The registry aids VA research on exposure to airborne hazards while creating a database of those potentially affected.
Enrollment in the Burn Pit Registry is free, and the questionnaire takes approximately 40 minutes to complete.
As of December 2019, the registry questionnaire has been completed by 190,952 Veterans and service members.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs established Protected Veteran status in 1974 to ensure veterans are protected from discrimination based on their military service.
This also means that if a veteran suffers a disability during his or her service, reasonable accommodations must be made to allow the veteran to work.
The DOL states that all employers working with the federal government must comply with the regulations.
Protected Veteran status is based on four different areas.
The Department of Labor classifieds protected veterans as a Disabled Veteran, Recently Separated Veteran, Armed Forces Service Medal Veterans, and Other Protected Veterans.
These are defined by the DOL below:
“A veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military and is entitled to disability compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to disability compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.”
“A veteran separated during the three-year period beginning on the date of the veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military.”
“A veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, participated in a U.S. military operation that received an Armed Forces service medal.”
“A veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge was authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.”
