American combat units had not yet been integrated. Black troops were mostly used in the motor pool and engineering divisions, as well as by the military police. It wasn't until the Korean war that you had black soldiers in the same front-line units as whites. I watched too much History Channel while I was unemployed . . . ------------- Brian "balistic" Prince http://www.bprince.com - art and techno ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
