1SG (Join to see) No Surprise to Me, Unfortunately. I was Trained in Pensacola, Cory Station where the KKK is still a thing. I'm Far from Perfect Also. I've Said Some F^^ked Up Things. A Favorite Slam being Raised in Cincinnati is Calling Someone We Disagree With a "Communist F^^^ot" One of the Most Talented Maintenance Technicians I Had the Pleasure of Working with I would Slam Mock His Heritage. Calling Him My Witch Doctor, Constantly Referring to His Magic Chicken Foot that Fixed Everything in My Comm Center. Thankfully I Grew Up, Grew Older.

1SG (Join to see) Yeah I would definitely would have been put on Report, Been Sent to See the Man, The Skipper for the Homophobic, Racist Crap I've Said in the Past. Thankfully I Got Lucky, I Got to Live Long Enough to Go "That was F^^ked Up" Learn from My Own Past Mistakes.

Soldiers of color in Vietnam experienced blatant prejudice and discrimination; yet served with dignity and valor.

It mirrors US culture and are over 4 centuries of intense prejudice, discrimination and killing. See Nancy Isenberg's "White Trash" in this regard.

SFC Dan Utinske - Yup. No one gives a shit about race when rounds are going downrange. No one gives a shit about it before that either. Except racists, who try to make everything about race.
