Research over the 28 years since the Gulf War, much of it by Sullivan and her colleagues, has identified a set of debilitating symptoms in Gulf War veterans, including memory impairment, chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, and now earlier onset of age-related chronic diseases. Their research has also identified the likely causes: exposure to the nerve agent sarin during the war, as well as the pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pills meant to protect against sarin gas, and the pesticides meant to protect soldiers against insect-borne illnesses.
But, while much is now understood about GWI, Sullivan explains to Sanders and the Reyes family that there is still no proven diagnostic test, leaving veterans struggling to get recognition and benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with only a set of self-reported symptoms.
To do that, this year Sullivan and her colleagues launched the Boston Biorepository, Recruitment, and Integrative Network (BBRAIN) for GWI with a $3.2 million award from the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP).
Sullivan tells Reyes that she and her colleagues are also likely no more than a year or two away from effective treatments for GWI. A 2018 study co-authored by Sullivan found oleoylethanolamide (OEA), which is commonly used as a weight-loss supplement, may hold promise for reducing GWI symptoms. To test this and other possible treatments, Sullivan is also a co-investigator of the multisite, $8 million Gulf War Illness Clinical Trials and Interventions Consortium (GWICTIC).
The Boston Gulf War Illness Consortium is recruiting sick and healthy Gulf War veterans for a one-visit study that will include blood and saliva samples, brain imaging, and cognitive testing. This study is designed to develop diagnostic tests and treatments for veterans with Gulf War Illness. Compensation is available.

In the prince's Heart of Invictus series for Netflix, which debuted on August 30, Harry told audiences how his first tour of Afghanistan in 2008 was brought to a premature end when a media embargo was broken, and how the realities of the trauma faced by troops didn't set in until he came face to face with wounded soldiers on his evacuation flight home.
"Stepping foot off the plane I was angry that this had happened to these guys, I was angry that the media weren't covering it, I was angry that I'd been pulled out but at that point it wasn't clear to me what needed to be done."
Former Royal Marine Ben McBean lost both legs in a roadside explosion during his tour of Afghanistan in 2008. Since meeting Harry, he has been a supporter of the prince's work with ex-servicemen and women, particularly the Invictus Games. However, he said that Harry has it "wrong" about the media not supporting troops.
"I have had his back for 15 years. I've always championed him but it doesn't mean I have to agree with everything that comes out of his mouth," McBean told The Sun after Heart of Invictus' release. "On this one the Duke of Sussex is wrong."
Harry has a complicated history with the tabloid. In 2005 the paper printed photographs of the prince attending a fancy dress party dressed in a Nazi uniform with the headline "HARRY THE NAZI," for which he later apologized.
In 2019, Harry launched a lawsuit against the tabloid's publisher News UK, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, bringing allegations of historic unlawful information gathering that included phone hacking.
In 2023, the prince received a legal blow when a judge ruled that he could not take his phone hacking claims against The Sun and the now defunct News of The World to a High Court trial. He will, however, be able to pursue claims of other unlawful information gathering.
Ex-paratrooper and veterans' campaigner Ben Parkinson told The Sun, "I have no idea what he's talking about," before going on to add that the "media in general have been amazing to me and given incredible support to my family."
The Heart of Invictus series follows the stories of injured, wounded and sick veterans as they competed in the 2022 Invictus Games, the tournament founded by Harry in 2014 to provide a platform to challenge and celebrate their mental and physical strength.

A military discount is essentially a special offer extended to service members as an appreciation for their sacrifices. It helps them save money on various products and services. For many companies, offering such discounts can be seen as corporate responsibility.
The big question is, do these platforms give our brave service members more perks? Unlike Netflix, which does not provide a direct military discount, Amazon Prime Video has been known to offer discounts for active duty personnel during certain times of the year. But remember: deals can change or disappear based on location and time.
Did you know some streaming services do offer explicit discounts for our men and women in uniform? Unlike the elusive Netflix military discount, companies like Amazon Prime have been known to give generous cuts on their subscription rates for active duty personnel and veterans alike.
An excellent deal when exploring alternatives is using free trials offered by most online video streaming platforms such as Apple TV+, Amazon Video, and Comcast Xfinity. They usually allow access up to 30 days before commencing billing, giving ample time for a premium experience without immediate expense.
The streaming giant released a preview for the series Wednesday, and the plot is described as, "Three adventurous veterans train alongside some of the world's most elite military units, getting an inside look at their tactics and weaponry."
When it comes to the Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Green Berets or any similar element, you can go down a deep rabbit hole of their tactics on YouTube. Hell, there's enough books about Navy SEALs to keep you busy for a lifetime.
The only tactics hardcore military fans and history buffs - which this show is clearly marketed too - are going to be interested in is the tactics used by Tier One units. For the USA, that would include the following five units:
In terms of elite foreign forces, a couple that would come to mind are the British SAS and Russian Alpha Group. You know what all the seven units I just listed have in common? They're highly secret and the government hides everything about them the best they can. I'm pretty sure the United States government still doesn't even confirm the existence of Task Force Orange.
The British government goes out of its way to silence members of the SAS from speaking, and well, let's just say Putin isn't interested in letting the world know what Alpha Group's tactics are seeing as how he's currently in a war.
So, are viewers left with a show that I could literally find the exact same content on YouTube or read about on Wikipedia? Yawn. I'd rather listen to a lengthy interview with a former Unit member or actually watch their real tactics, which the United States government would never allow.
Finally, if you want to see some insane things that I can't link to here, search for the Delta Force combat footage that leaked online a few weeks ago. It's not hard to find online. It's wild, and I guarantee you it's more entertaining than this Netflix series. Let's just say there's a moment where a guy swings an AK-47 around on a dude, and gets about 10 rounds sent through his chest in a second. Sucks to be a bad guy! Let me know what your thoughts are on this series at David.H...@outkick.com.
Lopez, a U.S. Marine veteran, was born in Mexico and arrived in the U.S. as a child in the 1980s. He was deported about eight years ago after a 12-year-old marijuana conviction was discovered during a customs check on a return trip from Central America.
While most undocumented immigrants might fear being deported, Lopez is actively coordinating with elected officials to help deported veterans return. His efforts were featured in the recent Netflix documentary series "Immigration Nation."
