All of those factors played themselves out in Vietnam, yet I'd not be inclined to attribute our failure to such tensions.

I went to boot camp in 1969. Half the company was Midwest farm boys. The other half was recruited from Harlem. They bunked us alphabetically and we had more important things to do than argue about race, we were trying too hard to make our Company Commander, MMC(SS) H. K. Wiggins, happy.
