In those days senior U.S. Army NCOs knew how to handle members of the various ethnic groups from the American South. They knew that their periods of industriousness and dedication would occasionally be followed by episodes of indolence and foot-dragging. Now and then they'd overindulge themselves or wind up landing themselves in trouble.

Other than that, we're just good ole' County Boys.

Were it not for the professionalism of the U.S. Army NCO Corps back then we would not have the mulicultural nation and service that we do today.
