Will you cover WW2's Impact on kick starting the US civil rights movement?

Refer to what I wrote here:

@American Race Relations

There were issues. The question should be: how many issues were there out of all the units and troops deployed?

@capt.jack.doicy

you seem to be attempting to minimise or deny the racism that was rampant in the US military.

Pointing out what happened in reality isn’t minimizing racism. In fact, you would know this if you analyze my posts and especially the sources a little carefully. I even point out instances of genuine racism (through the sources and accounts of Hispanics in the U.S. military). Proper evidence is key. The Isaac Woodard incident was a national story in 1946 for a reason.

Also your comment that the local Brits shouldn’t of got involved seems odd as it was their country after all. If they want to side with black americans over racist military police surely that is there right in their country?

If it involves the U.S. military, it is solely the U.S. military’s job to handle any horrid situation involving its own men. It’s still the case today. As an example: Ed Leonski wasn’t hanged by Australians for being a killer – the U.S. military did that – because Australians understood that legally, considering the murderer was a U.S. Army soldier, the matter was best left to the U.S. military.

This also applies to every nation’s military.
