Explanation:

The first part of the Vietnam War revealed that the US government and army saw African-American troops as cannon fodder. Blacks made up 12 percent of the US civilian population. but they were 22 percent of the loss of life in the first years of the war. These numbers changed only when this disproportionate allocation of black soldiers became a big issue in the civil rights movement, in the Black Power movement and within the army itself.

Black soldiers often led the acts of resistance and refused to serve. For these actions, along with systematic racism in the US military, Long Binh prison, a military prison, was disproportionately black. More than 700 prisoner soldiers were put in a space for 400 people, with some in transport boxes due to lack of space.
