Being rather olde, I might add my humble apology for not allowing people of color the right and privilege of dying for this country in WWII. Out of a half million young Americans that died, only 728 were of color. That is outrageous racism and people of color should be allowed to die on an equal basis as we white racists.

Were Negroes not drafted at the same rate as Whites during WWII? Or were Negroes on average placed in less dangerous positions, e.g. non-combat roles?

A certain extremely nollejable pundit we knew used to say they had no battle mettle at all -- would just run off. I'm sure he's not the only one doing so.

Ever see the 1964 movie Zulu? Those darkies fought like... well, Zulus. Took 150 British soldiers to hold off only 4000 Zulus.
Reminds me of the story about the Confederate soldier on the the top of Stone Mountain who was hurling well deserved insults down on the Yankee soldiers below. The Yankee captain sent two bluecoats up to dispatch the blusterous rebel, and they both were hurled off the mountain to their deaths. The captain sent up 5 men with the same result. Finally the captain sent up a dozen men, and 11 of the them were thrown off dead. The sole survivor -- beaten half to death -- straggled back down and cried, "It's a trick, Captain! There's two of 'em!"
