GIs Exporting Their Vile Racism In WW2

You just described nearly every army in history.

So, that means that you can't understand a very basic part of history, ie why men fought.

You probably need to work on that, to understand ANYTHING.
Don't over think it, simple at the time of that war if i was a black man i would have told the man to shove it even white men should have and many did.
 
Well I suppose we could have just told New Zealand to go **** themselves and let the Jappos use them for bayonet practice. If you foreigners are so weak that you expect us to die for your wars, don't be surprised if we treat you like shit.
Maori are pretty cool, they're like somewhere in-between Fijians, Hawaiians, and American Indians.

Nothing to over think. You don't understand why men fight.

YOU don't understand.

What is the overthinking?
 
We did fight our own war for a long time, ever hear of the battle of Britain? you have the right to be racist arrogant assholes, well that is very telling, why would any normal human WANT to be racist? are you a member of your local KKK mob?
You had a lot of foreigners flying for the RAF who were foreigners, including at least 10 Americans, during the BoB.

Bub.

I know that they were volunteers who saw the danger of Fascism, the RAF pilot who downed most Luftwaffe aircraft was a Czech.
 
..... I don’t know a lot about the integrated Army of the fifties and sixties, but when I served during Vietnam, black soldiers self-segregated .
I served in Vietnam myself and for the most part that's true.

I can't understand why any Black man would have served in Vietnam when they still didn't have full rights in the Country they were dying for
I need to explain: Conscription was in force during that period.
fighting yellow men thousands of miles away that had never harmed them.
Well, Cassius Clay refused to serve in the military and he put it oh so eloquently:
"No Vietnamese ever called me n!gger."

To shed some light on AZrailwhale and his comment about self-segregation, the truth is that blacks and whites had very little in common. If you want details I can offer several.

Black and white soldiers had a lot in common. Basic Training breaks down civilian attitudes and produces soldiers with common attitudes. If you never served you don’t understand that. As the Marines said during Vietnam: “there are no black or white Marines, there are only OD Green Marines.” The Blacks didn’t just segregate themselves from Whites, but Latinos and Asians as well.

In the sixties Blacks had every legal right that any other racial group did. In most of the USA they were treated like everyone else. People like you seem to think that the entire USA was like the Deep South with KKK idiots running around lynching blacks and Catholics.

There were enough admitted Americans to man three Eagle Squadrons. There were more that claimed to be Canadians.

You are wrong.

That only applied in Basic Training when we had no free time to mingle. We couldn't even go to the PX. It was up at 4, eat breakfast in 5 minutes, square corner our bunk, march to the rifle range, or gas chamber, or obstacle course, C-rations in the field, back to barracks for inspection, and in the cot before we fell asleep on our feet. Fort Leonard Wood, 1965.
If you never served you don’t understand that.
Don't piss me off. 1965 -1968. Central Highlands 1966-67.
As the Marines said during Vietnam: “there are no black or white Marines, there are only OD Green Marines.”
How old are you? You are still flapping that hurrah bull shit? I guess you didn't build much character of your own.
The Blacks didn’t just segregate themselves from Whites, but Latinos and Asians as well.
Read my lips .... we had very little in common. If you don't understand that then maybe you never served.

I served six years active duty Army and five years active reserve.
No one got up a four AM. Reville was at six AM, shit, shower and shave until six thirty, breakfast until seven, barracks cleaning until eight, normal training until five normally, but often seven or eight, GI the Barracks, lights out at ten. AIT was the same pattern except we weren’t restricted to barracks on weekends. I did Basic at Ord and AIT at Leonard Wood.

The Eagle Squadrons came after the BoB. Their biggest operation was the raid on Dieppe.
 
Why would i say they would be better under the Japs? i have family who fought them, that has nothing to do with racists thinking they could export their Mississippi racism to a allied Country and it's people, some tried the same bullshit in a town 20 miles from where i live.
He says while using racial slurs himself. Hypocrite.

The sick Left simply cannot let go of racism. It's all they think about it. It dominates their lives: the long dead past and racism.
Well ... and Trump, of course.

Jesus. You are one sorry piece of work. What you don't know you just make up. AIT ain't Basic Training so you don't know shit about what we did at Fort Lost in the Woods.
 
The 2nd New Zealand Division and the NZ Long Range Desert Group were elite fighting units in Europe and North Africa while the Yanks were pulling themselves in New Zealand hoping they wouldn't have to see action.
They also had their own SAS unit.
