[@DHolcomb-u6f]

As a retired military officer, I believe many are missing the larger context. The movie 6888 is a period piece that highlights the institutionalized segregation of its time and how it was challenged. Many of the women in the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion were college-educated and capable of far more significant roles. However, they were restricted to sorting mail due to the discriminatory norms of the era. It’s important to remember that the U.S. Armed Forces remained segregated by law until 1948-that’s why, for example, the Tuskegee Airmen couldn’t serve in white squadrons during WWII. This is a historical fact. So, before mocking these soldiers for their mail-sorting duties, consider why they were limited to those tasks. Unlike most of the heroes or relatives you’ve mentioned, these women were not free to choose their roles-they were constrained by the systemic racism of the time.

[@anwarbroughton9635]

[@carltaylor6452]

If it's a movie so keen on historical accuracy why is the white commanding officer played as a stereotypical racist brute when in real life he was in favour of integration? It's historically inaccurate and designed purely to push a (lame) racially divisive 21stC ideology.

All of the hostages survived the battle, thanks to one of the least likely alliances of World War II. The band Sabaton wrote the song "The Last Battle" about this event. That is how I learned about the battle. Sabaton also did a song and music video about the Night Witches 🧙‍♂️ Titled "Night Witches."

I would recommend actually watching the movie as it is good and look up the actual battalion. The 6888 Postal Battalion was the only female and women of color group sent overseas during the war to do the impossible task of sorting a backlog of almost 17 million peices of mail in 6 months. They were expected to fail and did it in 3 months. Their story definitely deserved to be told.

[@southbender5676]

Got the Audie Murphy book for Christmas last year, GREAT book

[@darkomtobia]

I mean...I kinda wanna know the full story now.

[@LoriPeace]

I actually watched this a couple of weeks ago and it's a reasonably well-done movie. A fair amount of comparison to male dominated military movies, where you have the drill sergeant yelling at the recruits to pick up the pace. And then they get sent to Europe, thinking that they're actually going to see combat, and the battalion commander discovers on her way over the Atlantic Ocean that her orders are to deliver the mail. And she discovers after she arrives that she has 6 months to get through a backlog of a dozen or so hangers full of unsorted mail. And SPOILER just in case you can't guess, of course because this has to have a happy ending, they succeed in sorting and delivering all the mail within 90 days instead of 6 months. The movie ends by showing the real women who were in this battalion, and the real Commander, and it's generally a feel-good movie, if you're willing to sit back and accept it as that, as opposed to scrunching up your face and saying this is a dumb movie. I don't think you can call it DEI, because they didn't have DEI back in World War II, and I'm in favor of showing the work of people who were not necessarily the most visible heroes of the time. I don't have to be a liberal to appreciate this sort of programming.

[@LoriPeace]

"The safest environment possible." No. Women died driving trucks from the hangers to the sorting facility, when their trucks hit unexploded ordinance in the roads. They faced discrimination from superior officers. And they had to figure out how to find recipients who were on the move around Europe, who sometimes had letters addressed to them as Bubba. And they succeeded. Is it like being on the front lines? Of course not. But it was a big deal. People back home were complaining about not hearing from their men at war. The soldiers were complaining about never hearing from their families back home. Morale was low.

[@LoriPeace]

I'll be interested in hearing your reaction to it, MrLBoyd

[@LoriPeace]

Big issue that I had right at the beginning of the movie was the fact that they started off showing a young black woman coming out of high school surrounded by her white classmates. And this was set in the mid-1940s, when schools were absolutely segregated. She was very clearly the only black girl in the school, and being pretty harshly bullied by her white classmates, and she was being protected by the Jewish boy who had been her best friend since childhood and whom she was in the process of falling in love with. All of this happens within the first 10 minutes of the movie. Her mother doesn't object to the idea of her hanging around with the Jewish boy, but at the same time tells her that she needs to find herself a "negro boy." They don't explain how she was in a semi integrated High School in 1943 or 44. But once you get past that bizarre beginning it all feels alls more appropriate to the time.

@@technofilejr3401 That is so on war but as I said I wouldn’t tell anyone or make it seem I did anything compared to men that stormed beaches, cleared towns and saved their buddies like Sgt. York, David Dodd or even Jackie Robinson. Even the mechanics in the war zone keeping things working.

[@DavidWalton-g8w]

You don't become a hero just by putting on a uniform. The guy who made mashed potatoes in the mess hall isn't a hero just because he has a uniform on. Getting respect for serving the country and being a hero are two completely different things. Being heroic and being important are two completely different things.

I'll bet they did a better job then the current postal service - which keeps delivering mail to my HOME that is addressed to the BANK seven blocks away.

TPS reports was a reference to the movie Office Space

These "brave" women were soldiers in the Army so they had rank as well. Imagine being a lowly ranked enlisted soldier on front line having to salute an officer from postal platoon.

I don't mind this story being told and people have the right to make what they want if they can get funded but it looks like garbage and I agree it sounds like it would be a much better story in an actual documentary.

Please react to the fat electrician all blood runs red. The world war II story that I was unfamiliar with and you probably know it. It's the kind of story Netflix should have done a miniseries about.

This reminds me of the Bill Burr bit about how many first black movies are they going to make. Turns out there is something more boring then swimming. Well done ladies and thank you for your service.

WATCH 'OFFICE SPACE' - that's where TPS reports come from. Very very funny movie.

Move aside 101st airborne. The true heros sorted mail.

[@cheryllynnshea6252]

First time I’ve disagreed with you! I think it’s important to recognize the workings behind the scenes of death. I think that the necessary support that the troops needed to hear from their loved ones to motivate them bears some important to the war effort.

[@Cramdeon1969]

I'm glad they made it. I enjoyed the movie and had been unaware of the actual story and its place in history 👍👍

[@PhilipDarragh]

These postal battalions played a crucial role. If UR in a foreign land, fighting, and knowing U cud get killed every day, getting mail FM home was crucial 4 morale. These women were not looking down the barrel of a gun every day, but, anyone who served in any branch of the armed forces was a hero. Plse do not forget the Merchant Marines. Their casualty rate was the highest during the war. In fact, their casualty rate was so high tt it was kept secret until after the war. This is why they R called the Greatest Generation.

[@michaelcarney6280]

Please sorting mail is not heroic should I start celebrating the mailman every time he drops a letter off? And I found it insulting that you compared women that sorted mail to the merchant marines how many postal workers that compared to merchant marines

[@mark-be9mq]

It was very important socially & for war effort. The Heroic lens seems much & almost to undermine their historic war role. Esp compared to all Black 761st tank; 333, 452, 969 Artillery; 92&93 infantry & Red Bull Express Transport & Quartermaster units.

Mark, tks 4 ur reply. Yes, blk fighting men of WW2 hv never received the recognition tt they deserve. Whenever there is a video abt the "Battle of the Bulge," and the Malmedy Massacre is mentioned, I notice something. No video ever mentions the massacre of the blk GIs by the SS, tt took place abt the same time as the Malmedy Massacre took place, and in the same area. This shd B told everytime the Malmedy Massacre is told. Also, hw many Americans, especially blk Americans, know the first blk soldier who Received the "Medal Of Honor?" It was Henry Carney. He received the "M-O-H" around 1900, for his heroic action in the Civil War. Almost 45 yrs later. Note: IMHO, one of the best things President Ronald Reagan did was 2 wave the requirements 4 being buried in Arlington National Cemetery for this person. I am talking abt one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. Joe "The Brown Bomber" Lewis. I would like 2 see a movie abt hw Arlington Nat'L Cemetery came abt. I know the story, but a movie abt it would BA good thing. At least IMO. Hv a Happy New Year. God bless U and yours. Always remember America's vets. We R here bcz of them.😊

It's a sad day knowing you don't know about TPS reports. You need to watch Office Space, arguably the best movie from the 90s
