Original Note:
At 1:52, Biden claims brain problems from Iraq were "extreme", like 9/11. According to FactCheck, this claim is without evidence. 1. There"s no evidence Iraq vets got cancer more than other wars. 2. There isn't enough evidence to conclude burn pits cause brain cancer. 1 https://www.factcheck.org/2019/12/biden-exaggerates-science-on-burn-pits-and-brain-cancer/#:~:text=The%20little%20data%20that%20exists%20does%20not%20suggest%20that%20Iraq%20veterans%20have%20developed%20brain%20cancer%20at%20higher%20rates%20than%20those%20who%20served%20in%20earlier%20wars 2 https://www.factcheck.org/2019/12/biden-exaggerates-science-on-burn-pits-and-brain-cancer/#:~:text=David%20Savitz%2C%20an,burn%20pit%20exposure
