A Secret War, Strange New Wounds and Silence From the Pentagon
Many U.S. troops who fired vast numbers of artillery rounds against the Islamic State developed mysterious, life-shattering mental and physical problems. But the military struggled to understand what was wrong.

US Army clears historical convictions of 110 black soldiers
The US Army has overturned convictions of 110 black soldiers who were arrested after the 1917 Houston Riots.
A military review found the soldiers were not given fair trials and were "wrongly treated" because of their race
The riots took place after months of racial provocations against members of a regiment known as "Buffalo Soldiers".
The Houston Riots took place on 23 August 1917 after months of racial tensions, including the violent arrest and assault of two black soldiers.
Amid rumours of additional threats to the soldiers from a white mob, a group of armed black soldiers assembled in the Texas city, where clashes erupted
The army convicted 110 soldiers from the regiment on charges including disobedience of lawful orders, mutiny, and assault with intent to commit murder.
Ultimately, nineteen soldiers were executed, including 13 who were executed in secrecy within a day of being sentenced. Others were sentenced to life behind bars. It remains the largest mass execution of American soldiers by the US Army.
Under Secretary of the Army Gabe Camarillo said: "We cannot change the past; however, this decision provides the Army and the American people an opportunity to learn from this difficult moment in our history."
The Army has said relatives of the soldiers may be entitled to compensation.

Wishing all my colleagues and shipmates who were also injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected a happy Thanksgiving. Especially the ones who were, or should have been, on the Group W bench.
