Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Minorities were able to serve in all branches of the Army except for the aviation units. The government made no provision for military training of black/minority officers and soon created segregated training camps for that purpose. Disheartened, minorities protested against this discriminatory practice. Black draftees were treated with extreme hostility when they arrived for training. White men refused to salute black officers and black officers were often barred from the officer's clubs and quarters. The War Department rarely interceded, and discrimination was usually overlooked or sometimes condoned.
