I remember my first tour in VN my best pal was a Black guy from Ohio, good guy. There was the usual nastiness between the Rebs and the Blacks but in the main everyone respected everyone else.
On my second tour after King was shot things changed. Black guys who were your asshole buddies in the field but on base you were the oppressor, destroyed the army.
