Took more time? Military was far more progressive than the rest of the country when it came to desegrigation. The units were desegrigated, as well as enlisted clubs and hang out spots years before the rest of the country did it. This is all fresh in my head because we got visited by five of the orignal Tuskegee Airmen a couple weeks ago.
