Also realize the only color in the army is Green. I have seen shitbags from all races in the army, it is the individual, not the race. Some of the closest friends in the army were hispanic and black. Some of the DUMBEST motherfuckers have been white ( I'm white - and I don't mean me as the dumbest
although sometimes I wonder
). Like it has been said, it is the desire to be there and to do your best.
We had this one fucker that was so stupid we never said " you're dumber than a box of rocks" we said " You're dumber than a box of (insert guys name here )'s"
I have had some squared away black platoon sgts that would smoke the shit outta you and were tough as nails. Same with hispanic and white. Doesn't matter about race, it's in your head.
So get used to being around people from everywhere and instead of rejecting it, learn more about them and realise that what you see in the movies and on tv isn't how everyone always is. If that was the case I woulda been living in a hut next to a rice patti when I was in korea
