As far as the no-Blacks criticism, the armed forces were still segregated then. If the movie follows a particular unit (which I think it does) you would expect to see only one race, no?Yes. Precisely.
A segregated Marine unit storming Iwo Jima would be a ludicrous rewriting of history.

"A segregated Marine unit storming Iwo Jima ..."Surely you mean "desegregated" or "integrated"??
