  1. Ca. June 1950 and following: Segregation in Army units serving in Korea gradually breaks down as white combat units suffer combat casualties and as large numbers of African-American recruits cannot be absorbed into segregated black service units. How could segregation still exist in 1950 in the Army if according to you the executive order was followed?

  2. An exec order does nothing. Truman did an exec order to integrate the military which was ignored by both civilian and military leaders under him. It wasn't until Korea over half a decade later that the executive order was carried out.

  3. January 13, 1949: The Fahy Committee holds its first hearings. Representatives of the Army defend segregation of African-Americans. The Marine Corps also defends its segregation policy and admits that only one of its 8,200 officers is African-American. The Navy and Air Force both indicate they will integrate their units. The Navy admits that only five of its 45,000 officers are African-American.

  4. Complete falsehood. The executive order was fought by both civilian and military leaders. There are numerous historical books detailing how the military refused to follow the executive order. You should look at the time line at the truman library website, It details that executive order was not followed by the military for years.

  5. Obama got cockblocked on gitmo. As for drone attacks that is something the military was wanting. Did you want troops to go in or drones with the countries like Yemen demanding the drones be used.
