Minol ( explosive ) Minol ( pronounced " mine - ol " ) is a military explosive developed by the Admiralty early in the Second World War to augment supplies of Trinitrotoluene ( TNT ) and RDX , which were then in short supply . The aluminium component in Minol significantly prolongs the explosive pulse , making it ideal for use in underwater naval weapons ( e . g . sea mine s - for which it was developed - depth charge s and torpedo es ) where munitions with a longer explosive pulse are more destructive than those with high - brisance . Minol must not be used in weapons fired from gun barrels ( e . g . artillery shell s ) because there is a risk of detonation when subjected to over 250 gs of acceleration . Typically , four different Minol formulas were used . All percentages shown are by weight : Since the 1950s , Minol has gradually been superseded by more modern PBX compositions , due to their superior explosive yield and stable storage characteristics . As a result , Minol is regarded as obsolete . Generally , any Minol - filled munitions encountered will be in the form of legacy munitions or unexploded ordnance dating pre - 1960s .

Holler for the military after the incident indicated that the source of the incident stemmed from " a general lack of compliance on the part of officers and noncommissioned officers with the existing policies , either by intent , in spirit , or through ignorance " , that " many white officers and noncommissioned officers retain prejudices and deliberately practice them " and that " the Marine Corps , are returning Marines , both black and white , to civilian society with more deeply seated prejudices than were individually possessed upon entrance to service . " In response to this and other racial incidents , the military made " a " concerted effort to encourage opportunities for cultural diversity and racial pride amongst minority groups . "
