December 9, 201114 yr comment_4669 Back then, The Navy was very prejudiced. All Blacks could be were cooks and stewards so not a lot of them joined this branch of the military. Dorie Miller was a cook but during all of the chaos on that fateful day, he grabbed a machine gun and just started firing, although he was not a trained gunner. Report
