this is heavily romanticized
Of course they spent more time fighting than any other unit during WW1. Gee I wonder why

We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual… We take an oath to the Constitution"
–Gen. Mark Milley

Blacks have always stepped up to fight for America. Gen. Washington had 5,000 Blacks in his army. 200,000 Blacks took up arms against the Confederacy and helped hand Lincoln and the country a great victory over slavery. The Tuskegee Airman had the best bomber escort record in Europe. In P-51 Mustangs. The Harlem Hellfighters knew what they were fighting for. Bravo.
