@Katoolie I was in Bravo Company 5/7 from 12/68 thru 10/69. The company was, in fact, mostly white.... but so was the rest of America. I don't know exact numbers, but I can assure you they weren't all white.. The very 1st soldier I saw KIA in Jan. 69 was black, as were our Medic, and various other company, platoon and squad members, including my Co. Commander at one point. And Hispanics were in our ranks as well.

I was in Bravo Company 5th / 7th from Dec. '68 until October '69 as a rifleman and RTO. We had a rather diverse group of nationalities. This video is very well done, and certainly brings the 'realism' back to my memory.

I am looking for any friends of Capt. Barry Mullineaux who died in Cambodia

Evidently Bravo Company was mostly white. It was a documentary about Bravo Company and it did show some black and Hispanic soldiers but they were in the minority. But that is the way it was with Bravo Co in Cambodia in May of 70
Sorry bout that
. But that was the reality.
Should the producers of this film included footage of black soldiers who were not in Bravo Company just to be PC? If none attended the reunion should he have not shown it?
Your objections are absurd.

You were too young.
This video is definitely not a flag-waving, hoo-rah work. You need to see the entire video to appreciate the committment and sacrifices made by the V.N. vets. This is a very well done video.

I was assigned to the 5/7th Cav as a Scout Dog handler off and on from Aug of 1970 to Jan '71. It's a little hard for me to watch because it takes me right back there, to a place I never want to think about. I'm not pleased with the overall patriotic hoo-rah that seems to permeate so many of these efforts, the pictures and the personal stories make the flag waving voice over and swelling music redundant.
