    The Photo of the black combat soldier is a member of the US ARMY'S 9th Infantry division. It was given the assignment to patrol the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. It was a joint operation with the US Navy, it was known as the Mobil Riverine force. The reason I know this, my Dad arrived in Vietnam in March of 1968 and was assigned to Co B 3rd BN 47th Infantry 9th Infantry division. The Mekong Delta was a maze of rivers canels, streams full of leeches snakes, mosquito's red ants etc...the mud was thick and deep, and there was no end to the rice paddies. I too am a proud veteran of the 9th Infantry division, I was assigned to HHC 2ND BN 39TH INFANTRY, FT Lewis Wa from March 1978 to August 1980. God Bless all those who served with the 9th Infantry division, known as the "Old Reliables"

I blame this unnecessary war for the lost of my father. He was honorably discharged and received a purple heart after being shot in the head but became addicted to crack and eventually died from heart failure. My uncle who is a crack addict fought in this bull shit as well. Drugs helped them escape all the horrible things they had to endure.

God Bless you Wallace Terry, who wrote a damn good book "Bloods" that tells the black experience in Vietnam. My older brother gave me Terry's book to read; it changed my life and gave me a new perspective on the war. God Bless all the men who fought and died in this war. Only now am I appreciative of their sacrifice. RIP Welch Brown, a Vietnam Vet who fought to stay alive....a victim of Agent Orange.

      Decent black men are respected not hated by everyone else.
      The thuglife, gang members who are involved in drugs and gun crime and who don't care about their kids and cheat on their partners and hate police and hate all white and other non black people because they believe that they are hated and victimised and held back in life, those black men who expect free housing, education, food, money, and believe that their own issues and problems and failures and faults are not their fault and they expect others to deal with all of their problems, they are the black men who destroy their own neighbourhoods by letting their kids run wild, they own guns, sell drugs give their area a bad reputation. But they don't seem to realise that they have done it to themselves.
      White criminals, layabouts, freeloaders, irresponsible behaviour and violence is also hated by the average citizens, its about behavior/attitude/lifestyle/etc colour and race has nothing to do with it.
      So no, the hardworking, family oriented, married and employed in a well paid position because he took the time to train and gain vocational qualifications and skills is respected and admired.
      So you are wrong to say that all black men are hated, it's their ghetto nigga type who have no self respect and don't care about anything that people don't like (I think that most decent black people like them either).

      "and the blackman is still at the bottom." No one else's fault but your own. About 30 years ago the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs od Staff was a black man who then subsequently became the first black Secretary of State. You've elected a black president and re-elected him. You now have a black VP along with black Secretary of Defence. With the now millions of nonwhite immigrants to this country even from Africa here doing well why the hell are you still at the bottom? It aint racism or white people. You and your political allies run most of the major cities in the country today. Sorry Boonie its on you and yours, and no one else.

When boys got arrested in supposed gang-related activity, the judges gave the teens the choice of going to prison or joining the military service....
