What, is this about carbon composites disposal? I'm told the graphite
fibers clog up the electrostatic dust filters. But open pits? Huh? Makes
zero sense. But, all military installations are notoriously slovenly. Lots
of contamination in former U.S. bases here.

I think it's both missing supervision (do mil types have to succumb to eco
audits now?) and an intrinsically bad attitude.
