I tell ya what I give those men who were black and joined the Corp credit. Their boot camp must have been right out of hell.

Any and all colors...bless 'em all.

With regard to the black volunteers/draftees, they surely did have
a hard shake.
And even though it was a dramatic portrayal, I remember one of the
main charachters in "Roots" that went off to WWI, only to realize
that he was returning home to a much less pleasant time than he had in
the Army while in France.

I wouldn't be suprised if many black volunteers joined up with hopes
of being so outstanding...that maybe things "back home" would be
loosened up in recognition of their effort/sacrifice.

All of the subject above is worthy of some mention in "The War",
I just hope that after seeing the whole show, Burns' treatment
of race relations and the Japanese-American internment will look
like it was not out of proportion to the work as a whole.
