Of course, this is not to say that the U.S. didn’t have our own missteps during World War II.
.. and doesn't follow that with any of the sharpest examples, eg: the 600 African-American troops that mutinied:

This was the site for a large-scale siege lasting eight hours, which was sparked by racial taunts and violence.
"After some serial abuse by two white US officers, there was several ringleaders and they decided to machine gun the tents of the white officers," Mr Holyoak said.
