One story that is widely repeated among Mexican-Americans as well as throughout the Southwest United States was that during the Mexican-American War the Mexicans who knew little English referred to the Americans' green uniforms and would shout, "Green go!", meaning "Leave our country."[citation needed] But, the U.S. military in the Mexican-American War did not wear the color green. They were still wearing blue at this time. During W.W.I the uniforms were tan. Not until W.W.II did the U.S. army begin to wear green.
