It wasn't the men who spilled their blood in Europe, in North Africa, in the Pacific and other places. No, it was...

I have not seen the movie. According to Wikipedia and its sources, the battalion was NOT all-black (as stated in the movie's advertising literature), but predominately black. It did not reach mainland Europe until May 1945; recall that V-E Day was 8 May 1945, so in all probability the fighting was over by the time the battalion crossed the Channel.

Need to reactivate them and send them to Palmetto GA to straighten out that messed up USPS sorting facility from hell. | |||

My mother was a WAC in a transportation unit that got into Paris about six days after it was liberated. They went from Normandy beech to Paris by truck, sleeping in tents along the way. Guess she needn't have volunteered to help out. Under Construction | |||

Yeah, the trailer doesn't seem all that inspiring. Ours is not to question why... Palmetto is where packages go to die! Thirty and Two Six Eight! We are here to procrastinate!!! | |||

I have a few friends that work in the Movie Industry, and had to deal with an fbi agent who does the illegal copies of CD's and DVD's... Take a wild guess who loses more money than any other film maker out there due to early release bootleg copies? Yeah, I'm shocked it's Tyler Perry and his people too! ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

I really don't have a problem with this. I mean, what do you expect when blacks AND women were grossly discriminated against? If they want a feel-good movie about black women serving in WWII, let them. It's not like they can have a movie about black women fighter pilots or infantry, as there were none. Even the Tuskeegee Airmen were limited to one unit, and THAT was in Italy with the 15th Air Force (most attention goes to the 8th AF based out of England). Sure, mail duty seems somewhat insignificant, but they did what they could. It's better than sitting at home waiting for a welfare check.

They served. Regardless of the role. They're veterans and have earned the respect that comes with that. | |||

You miss the point entirely. They are being misrepresented, and they are being misrepresented for a political and social engineering purpose. And by the way, what about the ones who served in that unit who were not black? Where are they in this telling of the tale? Do they not deserve respect? This is a blatant, racist fairytale. In essence, it is a lie. Simply parroting the usual line of 'veterans deserve our unquestioning respect' does a disservice to those who served, and does a disservice to the plain truth. We have an obligation to call out this distortion of our history. | |||

I got the point, they're beeing exploted more today for an agenda, usually by their own, in some ways worse than the discrimination that was faced in the WW II era. Sorry for not adding in what I understood already. | |||

I have been around military my entire life. I have and respected most all who served. (very few extreme exceptions) Race/ethnicity/religion, male or female. None of that matters to me. It's simply a people thing to me. Never needed a movie to tell me what or how to think nor whom to respect. Same respect for the trashman as much as the guy driving golf balls on the moon. I don't like being patronized or used. Movies like this do both, and worse to more. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||
