Imagining being some West Point dude on your second or third tour, put in charge of an Army company of poor black draftees in 1969 who want no part in da white man's war, each of whom is given an M16. Now you have to order them out of bed and to put their boots on and walk across some field, and youre outnumbered like 25 to 1. |

Date: July 19th, 2018 12:27 PM Author: Carmine Crackhouse I dont know the data, but the docu certainly lends some "color" to this phenomenon. Ken Burns is hardly a race realist. The one first hand account describes a black soldier tossing a grenade in his officer's hooch.
And given the cultural context, it's not hard to believe there was a huge racial component |
