BOO...I say again...BOO (with a Hiss). This "Southern Patriot" is lacking any sense of Military, let alone American, History. Members of the 9th and 10th Cav and 24th and 25th INF made tremendous contributions to the various military missions of the day and drew accolades from the likes of General "Black Jack" Pershing and LTC (later President) Theodore Roosevelt. Note: T.R. was, in fact, most exuberant in celebrating the bravery and fighting skills of Black Troops immediately following their bailing him and his Rough Riders out at San Juan and Kettle Hills during the Spanish American War. Although T.R., hedged on his remarks later for whatever (probably political) reasons, Buffalo Soldiers were one of the most esteemed segments of African American Society at a time when social norms in the country left a lot to be desired.

This "...Southern Patriot..." is an idiot. His innuendo is an affront to the bravery of Black Troops who fought and died under often adverse conditions.

Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, formed on September 21, 1866, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This nickname was given to the "Negro Cavalry" by the Native American tribes they fought in the Indian Wars. The term eventually became synonymous with all of the African American regiments formed in 1866:
