Who were the 93rd Infantry Division?
The 92nd and the 93rd Infantry Divisions were units made up of black troops with white officers. The 92nd ID fought in Italy in WWII. Near the end of the war black troops were sometimes assigned to other infantry divisions. Volunteers from black non-combat units, and from black non-infantry combat units, were called for. Some men took a demotion to volunteer to serve as privates in the infantry. The army was desperately short of infantry replacements. These new infantrymen were sometimes formed into platoons and attached as a "fourth platoon" to all-white infantry companies, and sometimes used as individual replacements. Before that time though, all black foot soldiers were in either the 92nd or 93rd IDs. Both also served in WWI.

Why people prefer infantry job in army?
From my experience, they consider it bragging rights. However, if the scenario at Fulda Gap had ever happened, Cavalry units would've had cooks who were further ahead of the lines than any of the infantry, so.... Other than that, being in a line unit would prepare you better for any type of Special Forces selection you may wish to attend, and you'd be more likely to be eligible for enlistment bonuses.
