VW- US military race riots incountry

During the VW, there were many race related disturbances among US servicemen at reararea installations thruout VN from 198 onwards, including with a largescale riot by black military prisoners at Long Binh stockade, dissatisfied black Marines congregating to attack whites who were surly and abusive towards them, at China Beach in Oct 1969, but being dispersed eventually by armed MPs and Shore Patrolmen, and racial tension resulting in major disturbances on several USN warships, including the aircraft carrier USS ORISKANY. There was even 1 incident at a firebase on the Cambodian border in 1970 when apparently black and white soldiers shouted racial abuse at each other, before rushing for and aiming weapons at each other, but were dispersed by their commanding officers. By contrast, soldiers and Marines out in the jungle and taking the fight to the enemy experienced the greatest degree of racial integration, cooperation and harmony, since everybody in the field, black, white, or whatever, was facing the same threat of death or injury and they therefore had to work together as a team to survive, regardless of other distinctions.

Now, WI these racial disturbances in the US military at bases incountry, had been of a much more serious nature ? Say if the China Beach or LBJ incidents had exploded into fullscale racial violence and riots between black and white servicemen in rear areas, with largescale loss of life on both sides ? How much worse would the American war effort have been affected by such huge racial division ? Could the US have even been compelled to withdraw from VN more quickly >
