What is the military term dirty purples?
"Purple" = anything "joint," or with different U.S. services working together (i.e. Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines). Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) is academic training for mid-grade officers. The "Dirty Purples" are web sites where students share information about these classes. The term originates from when PME class attendees would use Ditto machines to run off copies of class notes for each other. The ink used was purple in color and would tend to smear on one's fingertips when handling the paper. (It had a really nice smell too.) Thus the notes became known as dirty purples. Over time the term became synonymous in PME for any kind of covert material used to prepare for exams. Part of the cooperate and graduate motto.
Why were the Tuskegee Airmen important during World War 2?
As far as the overall outcome of WWII itself goes the effect of the Tuskegee Airmen was in my opinion minimal. None of the axis powers, combined or individually, had the resources or the industrial might to carry on a protracted two front war, which is basically what the axis was facing and had they war in the Pacific continued the Russians would most likely have gotten involved on that front in greater depth. What The Tuskegee Airmen, along with many of the other African American officers from all the military branches of WWII did in my opinion was pave the way for the changes in American society that culminated in the civil rights gains of the 60s. The combat record of the Tuskegee Airmen while exemplary and even more so considering the circumstances of the day, and certainly deserving of the utmost respect and commendation , is not as important as [URL=http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/acsc/97-0429.pdf]The Freeman Field Mutiny [/URL] and the ensuing changes in U.S. military policy that followed... whether directly or indirectly a result of the "mutiny" itself.
