So in racist ass Columbus, GA in 1962 your pals were black, but in 2025 you are racist as hell. Man miss me with that BS.By your own standards,. George Washington and his gang were all traitors.
Benning where I served in 1962 had blacks. My pals were those blacks. But you make me wonder why? The soldier who was my assistant in Basic Training was black. He played professional football and after 6 months went to the Dallas Cowboys. We were friends. He never talked to me as blacks on this forum do.
Here is David's story.
He served as my assistant in the ARMY

No, he didn't, 91% of black women voted for Biden in 2020. Which means you think you are smarter than 91% of black women in this country.
I saw 96 percent in 2020

I have always been here

Pete Hegseth says Air Force restoring Tuskegee Airmen videos amid backlash
Hegseth stated on X hat any decisions to eliminate the Tuskegee Airmen training videos were "immediately reversed."www.newsweek.com
I wonder why you need to restore something that folks claimed was not needed.

How could they be selected on merit, if they never flew in combat before?

How could a black pilot be selected on merit if he went to an unknown black university compared to a white pilot who went to a prestigious white university?
The Air Force has resumed a course on the first Black pilots unit that was temporarily yanked in what officials claim was an effort to ensure compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order banning DEI in the federal government.
Following backlash from legislators and even the new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Air Force claimed reports it had yanked a course teaching new recruits about the 15,000 Black pilots, mechanics and cooks in the segregated Army of World War II known as the Tuskegee Airmen were "inaccurate."
However, Hegseth wrote on X Sunday that the course's removal had been "immediately reversed."
How is any person in the military selected if they never been in combat before? I am sure there are a lot of GIs that would have loved to use that excuse not to get selected
Do you really think these question through before asking them?
In all truth, there comes Democrats to change the color from Red/White/Blue to black.
FDR was a racist. But it was very routine for Democrats to be racist. Now they want him remembered for putting young blacks in planes and flying protection runs for the Combat guys flying bombers. Blacks were excluded by FDR for years of the war. Sure at the end, thanks to his wife, he allowed a few to go into combat. When the Airmen were formed, they only used whites to train blacks. Flying fighter planes to blacks is scary. But as I showed some of my passengers when flying with me, I can convert a scared person to confident in an hour flying with them. Where I trained at Hayward, CA (a bay area city) I never saw blacks flying any airplanes. And that town has about 12 percent blacks.

The Tuskegee pilots were an untested, unproven bunch. Their pilot program had only a short history and no track record to judge them by.
Of course, once they were actually tested in combat, they turned out to be some of the best pilots in the corps.
Thanks to their white trainers of course.

I said that, because like your example, recruits aren't selected on merit either.

there was segregation in 1940
The black airmen would not ha been accepted on merit
So they needed their own all/black outfit
Within that context they were selected on merit
Bad fliers did not get theirs wings just as white pilots were washed out
Thats a positive message for America because its a success story

Is that like saying Colin Powell was trained by white generals?
Or Jackie Robinson was coached by white MLB managers.
Or Barack Obama learned from white presidents.
