A "woke" military would not have needed separate plaques to commemorate certain troops.

A "woke" military would have been integrated, and everyone would have been on the same display.

Get it, MAGA??????????

The fact that black soldiers had separate "special" displays at this particular cemetery was not because of "wokeness", it was the opposite of "wokeness", the segregation that existed in our military at the time of WW2.
