Ladies and Gentleman, Elvis has left the Sizzler

Does anyone happen to know when black soldiers are eligible for the GI bill? I know it was after WWII, but don't know if it was after the Korean War. I can't say what life was like for black Americans in 1950s Japan, but black soldiers certainly weren't given hero's welcome in the US. WWII soldiers were still forced into poor areas to live and denied college education they were promised. While I never thought Jackson had a hope the dance troupe would be welcomed as stars of they were great, I guess I have to imagine he had some idea this was a chance at a better life.

There are no stupid questions, just mucus snail trails on all my furniture.

Has anyone seen the Christian Bale Swing Kids? I haven't, but it sounds like a terrible idea. @tomspanks I also wanted to say thanks for suggesting.an aggressively off beat movie. I'm always down for those and the trailer for this had me intrigued. I'm glad I saw part of it, I just didn't need 133 minutes of it. Is it weird that its energy kinda reminded me of Kung Fu Hustle?

Spread wide for my dentist but bit my proctologist

Yeah, Jackson was probably sent to the US, dishonorably discharged, denied any benefits, and never tap danced again
