Great story.

Gee, somebody must have forgotten to introduce this young man to Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton. He is black and doesn't think he is a victim....hmmm, now how did that happen?

Never covered by the press. A large percentage of my comrades in Viet Nam were (legal and illegal) immigrants. Yes, back then nobody cared whether the Mexican who joined had papers. He was anti-communist. That was all that mattered.

Mexicans were the largest group of immigrants in the US military back then. But there were also significant numbers of Russian Jews, Poles, Ukranians and other Eastern European immigrants, as well as a few from everywhere else. I saw Chinese immigrants in basic, but never in VietNam. I assume it was considered too sensitive to send them to VietNam... it might make the ChiComs angry and get more involved than they already were.
