"World War I was the only war for which this was done. If you go to a World War II cemetery, all the unknowns are marked with crosses."-Richard Rubin, The Last of the Doughboys: The Forgotten Generation and Their Forgotten World War
"Returning to active duty, [Pershing} was sent to Montana, promoted to first lieutenant, and put in charge of the 10th Cavalry Regiment. Buffalo Soldiers: black soldiers. Two years later, he was appointed an instructor of tactics at West Point. He was strict; the cadets didn't much care for him. They mocked his previous posting, dubbed him "N*gger Jack." Eventually, they toned it down to "Black Jack." He was said to be quite proud of the sobriquet."-Richard Rubin, The Last of the Doughboys: The Forgotten Generation and Their Forgotten World War
"Then General MacArthur literally called in the cavalry--and the infantry. As thousands of government employees watched, a phalanx of soldiers marched against the veterans, forcing them out of their camps at bayonet point. And just to make sure, tanks were deployed, too--under the command of Major George S. Patton--as well as gas. Yes, it's true: Soldiers of the United States Army gassed veterans of World War I in the streets of the nation's capital in the summer of 1932."-Richard Rubin, The Last of the Doughboys: The Forgotten Generation and Their Forgotten World War
