"It is not often that servicemen have to fight a double war - one on the home front and one overseas."

Really?"

Small difference between the two. I seriously doubt soldiers returning today are refused service in restaurants, not allowed to rent hotel rooms, or strung up because they talked to a white woman.

Actually there's a big difference. The Tuskegee Airmen were not discriminated against because they were serving their country. The GI's today are. That's not to say that the discrimination that they (the Tuskegee Airmen) faced was right, it was certainly terrible. Hopefully it won't take 60 years for today's heroes to be recognized.
