The Empire Files: Part 1 – 100 Years Of US Troops As Lab Rats
On Memorial Day, politicians will speak at ceremonies all over the country and repeat their favorite mantra: “Support the troops.”

In Part I of this two-part episode, Abby Martin documents experimentation on US troops, from race-based chemical agent tests to nuclear weapons.
