Spike Lee is upset that Clint Eastwood's movies The Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima didn't have any black soldiers in the movie. According to Clint Eastwood, there was a small ammunition detachment of negro soldiers on the island, but they didn't help raise the flag. And Letters from Iwo Jima was the story of the battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese prospective. Pretty sure there weren't any black men in the Japanese army.

Spike Lee is only bring this up for publicity of his own movie about a detachment of black Buffalo soldiers fighting in Italy. He's probably not going to put any white men in the buffalo soldiers, but that' s fine with me.
