It was relevant when they had "colored" platoons I'd say. The military


wasn't fully integrated until the Vietnam War if I'm not mistaken.

If you think about it and actually look at the history, the military doesn't have the best track record when it comes to issues like discrimination. Historically it has been behind the curve, not ahead of it.
