I wasn't saying that NO change occurred, simply that changes in war often happened faster than people back home in peacetime were willing to admit afterwards. I mean, the difference between the Rosie-the-Riveter types of WW2 and the nice little housewives of the '50's is pretty dramatic, and while the armed forces may have been desegregated, places back home certainly weren't. THAT'S the sort of stuff I mean, not that there was no change at all.
