Editor,
With all due respect to the black soldiers who volunteered
for the front lines, and Fred Watts' individual military experience during
World War Two's 'Battle of the Bulge", ( "In the heat of battle, the
only color that truly mattered was olive drab," Plain Dealer, Sunday,
February 3rd,) I think he was a bit fanciful when he said "...the colored
guys were the only ones they could depend on to turn this war around." Were
they still alive I think General George S. Patton, commanding the U.S. Third Army , Lt. General William Simpson,
commanding the U.S. 9th Army and the pilots of the U.S. Army Air Force XIX TAC
Squadron and 8th Air Force would beg to differ.
If you're going to say something, say it right!
