Marines, Camp Lejeune, Water…Cancer!

Marines, Camp Lejeune, WaterCancer!

EXCERPTS

For three decades, dry-cleaning chemicals and industrial solvents laced the water used by local Marines and their families. Mike Partain and at least 19 others developed male breast cancer.

One night in April 2007, as Mike Partain hugged his wife before going to bed, she felt a small lump above his right nipple. A mammogram a man-o-gram, he called it led to a diagnosis of male breast cancer. Six days later, the 41-year-old insurance adjuster had a mastectomy.

The Marine Corps knowingly poisoned their own people, Partain recently said in his living room, surrounded by stacks of military documents and water analysis reports. They were told about the water, and they did nothing. Nothing. And then they lied about it.


Partain, whose father and grandfather were Marine officers, is tall and burly, with a shaved head and black goatee. His face reddens and his voice cracks when he discusses the toxic water. He maintains a website The Few, the Proud, the Forgotten where he posts material documenting the contamination and the stories of those who say it made them ill.

Military officials acknowledge that they were told as early as 1981 that potentially dangerous volatile organic compounds had been detected in the drinking water. However, the Corps, which has set up its own website https://clnr.hqi.usmc.mil/clwater/) to deal with the issue, said that the two primary chemicals involved were not then subject to regulation.
