bookmarked with maximal non-surprise.
If they covered THIS up in the bad old days, how much more is covered up in these P.C. NEW days, huh..?

According to a site I found when using the title in the search engine.
“After some serial abuse by two white US officers, there was several ringleaders and they decided to machine gun the tents of the white officers,” Mr Holyoak said.

You absolutely won't see a movie about this....it's not politically-correct, and black-on-white crime is NEVER publicized like "Hate Crimes" when it's white-on-black.
"Holder's People" have a way of being kept "covered".

It’s a little bit hard to believe that something of this magnitude could have been hushed up for 70 years.

Allegedly a black Sergeant was killed by a white officer, and there was no real investigation.
This came on top of a belief by the black soldiers that they were being given the worst work details. It should also be said that black soldiers based in Australia - as well as having to deal with the realities that the US Army was segregated, were also having to deal with very racist Australian laws of the time. It’s not surprising tensions existed even without specific triggers.

So...
Port Chicago = OK to talk about
Townsville = Not OK
Gotta get the rules straight

"If they covered THIS up in the bad old days, how much more is covered up in these P.C. NEW days, huh..?" How about the history, background and controllers of our president?

Can’t really blame them then. If a military camp is segregated and the black side is being treated as if they were in the gulag, can’t really blame them.

Most mutinies are sparked by genuine problems and often unfair treatment but mutiny is still mutiny.

Search Exercise Tiger to see the magnitude of things that could be covered up, then forgotten. Thanks for the info. That incident was not covered up though. Rush Limbaugh talked about it during the period of the Iraq War when the MSM was going wild every time a US soldier got killed with "the war is lost" stories.
