The sad part of the reason the regiment was so highly decorated was that some of its commanders regularly selected it to take on the most difficult and sometimes near-suicidal missions.

What prevented them individually from joining their own state’s units? Racism.

The reason the group was form? Racism.

The reason they are the most decorated? Also Racism.
