Jon Stewart posts a Problem with Veterans Day podcast interview with a staff sergeant who died Sunday

Deadline

Staff Sergeant Wesley Black died Sunday at age 36 shortly after he taped his The Problem With Jon Stewart podcast interview with Stewart. Black was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer that his oncologist linked to exposure to burn pits while he served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Black appeared on The Problem with Jon Stewart episode delving into burn pits. The exposure to the military’s burning of waste in open air pits has been called “the Agent Orange of the post-9/11 generation.”
