Grayfox, thanks for these stories. I’m going to look them up and read about them. I had a 3rd cousin or something who was on those bombers over Germany. Sounds like the Red Tails saved his hide.
You should also research the entire Vietnam war for interaction between American Black & White soldiers and Marines. We still had the military draft, so young men of drafting age were all thrown together.
These kids did nothing wrong, were there to protect their country, but, were treated by a good number of the American people as dogs to be slaughtered, mostly by hateful Democrats, Communists, Socialists, College Professors that hated America then & now.
But, these Black & White “kids” fought and died for America, took care of themselves as bands of brothers in arms and the color of one’s skin went right out the window as the Viet Cong bullets flew by. Yes...there was racism on both sides, but these kids learned to live together as one, protecting and loving each other and most of them did not give a damn relative the color of one’s skin. amazing stories and history which most Americans know nothing about. SAD...our nation has lost it’s soul....thanks to Barack Hussein Obama and his crony Democrat Party, low life.
