You FALSE STATEMENT (provided in the form of

a spurious "question") is historically inaccurate!

MANY, MANY, MANY of the African-Americans BOTH enlisted and fought

in every American war -- from the American Revolution (often with

the promise of 'freedom' in return) to the Gulf Wars in the Middle East.

In fact, the first soldier to die in the American Revolution was an African-American

(AA) named Crispus Attucks and U.S. museums are loaded with memorials of AAs

who fought valiantly in EVERY war fought either in or by the United States.
