Celebrating African American Military Milestones

Alongside churches and schools, the military is one of the oldest and most important institutions in the U.S. The U.S. Armed Forces include the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Even though an army has existed since the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775, the official U.S. military was not formed until the U.S. Congress had its first session on September 29, 1789.
African Americans have served in every war on American soil and abroad since the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years War. However, they served predominantly in segregated units. When allowed admission, African Americans faced harsh mistreatment in the military academies, received demeaning military assignments (often relegated to the galley and not to combat), and were denied promotions and the opportunity to serve as leaders.
Bowe Bergdahl targets Trump, McCain comments in lawsuit challenging court-martial
By Dom Calicchio
(FOX NEWS) - Former U.S.
Army Sgt. Robert Bowe Bergdahl, who was court-martialed in 2017 after being accused of abandoning his post in
Afghanistan and endangering fellow service members, has filed a civil lawsuit in a bid to overturn his conviction.
The court filing names the United States as the defendant. It seeks to determine whether the U.S. military erred in failing to remedy unlawful command influence by former President
Donald Trump and the late U.S. Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz., and whether a military judge in Bergdahl’s case had failed to disclose he had applied for a high-paying job with the U.S. Justice Department.
