Forgotten standard bearers? African American Soldiers and Iwo Jima 🦅

The Battle of Iwo Jima is known as one of the bloodiest and most intense battles fought during World War II. It lasted for 36 days, with the United States Marine Corps facing off against the Imperial Japanese Army.

The battle was significant for several reasons, including the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi, which has become a symbol of American patriotism. However, there is another aspect of the battle that is often overlooked - the role of African American soldiers.

At the time of World War II, the U.S. military was still segregated, and African American soldiers served in separate units from their white counterparts. The majority of these soldiers were relegated to support roles, such as cooks, drivers, and laborers.

However, there were also several African American combat units, including the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters, and the 761st Tank Battalion, known as the Black Panthers.

During the Iwo Jima campaign African American soldiers were responsible for providing artillery support to the Marines on the ground. They fired over 6,000 rounds during the campaign, often under intense enemy fire. African American Marines often served as ammunition handlers and stretcher bearers.

An estimated 700 to 900 African American soldiers participated in the epic island battle, many of whom were Marines trained in segregated boot camps at Montford Point, within Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

African American soldiers continued to serve with distinction and bravery despite discrimination and racial inequality.

Note

you mention battles usually being an honorable thing. do deaths still happen in them purposefully or is that highly frowned on? what about accidents? do clans have laws or procedures when these things happen?

Deaths in battles are HIGHLY frowned on and a sign something is very wrong.

It doesn't even need to be a death-- mauling is also forbidden. You do NOT harm someone who is trying to flee.

Though accidents happen, in order for the Law of Honor to be respected, both combatants must be 1. Fighting fairly, and 2. Be willing to admit defeat. A warrior could be as gentle as possible-- but if their opponent REFUSES to run despite being clearly bested, it becomes a matter of self defense.

So when a Clan needs the patch of territory to make it through winter, or has to forage for herbs in some place, suddenly, it is not a fair fight. ThunderClan may be within its rights to challenge over Sunningrocks, but in Fall just before the salmon run? When RiverClan needs both sides of the river? There will be deaths.

As-is, there are currently no laws or procedures for dealing with these situations, besides cats who have broken the code being punished by their leaders.

There is an incentive to do this though-- Clans who don't live by the code will be attacked more often, and lose trading rights. Of course... that depends on if the Clan in question actually cares about having relations damaged.

#Clan Culture #Battles #Warrior Cats #I try not to add too many hard laws or rules!#I really love them in other people's rewrites though and I think they add a lot!#For me I find it more helpful to approach it loosely #So that negotiations are more open-ended and less rigid #If there's no protocol in place for these things then I can have a cat demonstrate their diplomatic ability by suggesting something #If that makes sense
