[A Navy Vet]

In my Navy (75-86) some of the hardest working sailors were black. Two in my aviation department were good friends who I would trust with my life and even hung out with one of them on liberty. The Navy was color blind at that time and may still be, as wells as the Corps (or is that corpse?). Don't know what the Army's problem is.

Someone hear recently claimed the term "culturalist" as his own creation. I have been that all my life and said so on this forum. I grew up in south Los Angeles area that had a mix of white, black, brown, and yellow. Other than the early thugs (of all races) we all got along and even partied with each other. However, since the LA Rodney King riot and the continuing victim status promoted by the socialists, I am now starting to re-consider...

My own experience was that when the bullets were flying, the Army didn’t care and soldiers were the same. Problems were invariably in a peacetime garrison environment, after duty hours, and away from the unit.
