The New York Times reported that some troops returned seeing ghosts and feeling "cursed."
But many of those troops have nonetheless come back with debilitating psychological issues, The New York Times reported Sunday, an apparent product of that US strategy.
At issue, it seems, is the sheer number of times US soldiers fired artillery rounds at Islamic State targets.
One man came back seeing "the ghost of a dead girl" in his kitchen, an apparition he believed was an Islamic State hex.
Indeed, many of those deployed in artillery units "came home feeling cursed," The Times reported.
