Last Pearl Harbour day one British rag ran a story about "racist" America and how the British were the only ones who treated our black G.I.s as human beings.
Myself a kid of 13 years old at the very end of the war. I remember the aid packages delivered to us with the two hands clasped. The flags of each country on each cuff. We would have been flattened or forced to concede defeat but for America.
Today most of my countrymen know nothing about the war on the home front. American dislikes and petty nonsense suits some of the gutter press fine. They never saw a damn thing. They never suffered. They never served.
Never mind em'
My friend that was then, this is now and our countries are not the same and neither are our people. Perhaps if we had not overindulged in multiculturalism we could find the common thread which would still unite us. I truly think that it is too late for that.
I appreciate your post, thank you.
