    Not a lot of people know this but the US Military was actually Desegregated before Vietnam era. In fact it was desegregated even before WW1! It was Woodrow Wilson who RE-segregated it and FDR continued that notion.

If you took the time to study up on this stuff you'd never vote D again. You'd find that 9.5 times out of 10, when they accuse somebody of racism, they are the ones actually doing it or have done it.

I was known as PVT Sports fan in Basic cause I showed up with a Phillies baseball cap and loved sports. My battle buddy was PVT Bonehead. We had a dude in our Platoon known as PVT Mohawk b/c he showed up to basic with a Mohawk hair style. He was from Los Angeles. Army Basic 1988 good times.
