why was the military so against black soldiers during WWI and WWII? Like they were incapable of killing someone. Boggles my mind. Hell blacks back then were glad to get their hands on a gun and kill somebody with all the frustration they had to deal with with Jim Crow laws at the time.

because Mexican American soldiers had far more casualties and far more service than any other minority in both wars. They believed that by fighting in these wars they would return to the US and become first class citizens...they returned with Purple Hearts and other awards, but were still picking cotton and other agricultural needs.

See, Mexican Americans were not recognized as an ethnic group in the US and were considered Caucasian, but when they asked for equal protection and right under the law they were not considered Caucasian. They eventually appealed to th eSupreme Court and a week after the NAACP fought their Brown v Board case, Gus Garcia fought for the US to identify Mexican Americans as an ethnic group within the US.

He won and the rest is history.

I'm not complaining, just confused. I would think since the country disliked african americans so much they'd be glad to send them off to war to preserve their own, but the reverse was in affect. Many able-bodied willing blacks were flat out denied the ability to fight. So strange.

you can't hold a Johnson M1941 LMG or and M1 Garand like a gangsta... Plus I think we where wanting to WIN those wars, Might have had something to do with not giving people we used to claim as our property guns...
