From the April 2022 World War II magazine "Soldier Surveys Virginia Tech University has published the transcripts of 65,000 surveys made by American GIs for the U.S, War Department in the early days of the war. Needless to say, they were anonymous and they didn't hold back with their thoughts.
Many times they were quite patriotic, but lamblasted everything from uninspired leadership to bad food. Black soldiers complained about discrimination. Whites often expressed a bitterly racist view as was common back then.
