Jon Stewart, interview with Murtaza Hussain & Yair Rosenberg, The Daily Show, 27 February, 2024
“

One of the biggest issues I have with American foreign policy is how cavalier it is about the destruction that so many of our policies have had internationally. Even something as simple as, you know, we had a big issue here with burn pits with Iraqi war veterans and Afghan war veterans. And we talked a lot about getting them the help they need here. But the thing nobody ever talked about was what those did to the environment in Iraq and Afghanistan. We left. And I think our policies oftentimes are cavalier to the destruction that occurs.
