. . . . . . No words.

Sometimes, said people are such that minority comments are but a tip of the ice berg that expresses a piece of their real intentions.

Japan belongs in the latter category. If you are actually a real asian, you would know this/

442nd was once again never really in any of the deadliest combat situations in the entire theatre. There is quite a bit playing up situations and words when it comes to 'glorifying' these poor poor people who thinks they deserve special treatment. If you take a look at some of their medals and commendations, they were actions that were equal to what other squads performed just as frequently, but is loaded with 'we outdid the low standards of main stream society'. War is dangerous - normally impossible sounding tasks are given daily treatment especially back in ww2. It's really funny how they claim all those medals and commendations when all the men who died in ardenne, storming omaha, iwo jima, and other more dangerous fields were never given such treatment. They were but a minority in a sea of people who charged the bullets and killing fields. If you look at it factually, it starts looking more and more like these individuals are just trying harder in clamoring for recognition for things other people took as reality of war, and just like to play up their role in the war as something special. Unfortunately, it resonated with the officers who basically gave them a pat on the head saying 'good boy!' when they showed they could fight to the level other units were expected of as a norm.

Mainstream society's view towards blacks was lightyears away from japanese. Any black person would laugh in your face if you mentioned both cases of racism as if they are equals. That is a very poor comparison and shows your laughable understanding of the issue.

Got a death wish?

Ask for Tony Wilson. Get your mouth here and settle this in person bitch. If you don't have the balls to show up and just digging for info, you might get a visit if you don't show up.

LOLboy got so much mouth. How about you give me your full name, number and address and I'll do the rest?

Trying hard to convince yourself I see.

I don't recall NVA rolling into and conquering South Vietnam when US army was present in force, only after we officially left. Unlike you brits who caved like a bitch and signed a document of surrender.

Read some real history about the War of Independence and you might learn some real facts.

I didn't immigrate to America, we were given land grants to New Spain by the Queen of Spain. 300 years later, living on the same land my family had had for generations I was still referred to as a wetback (river crosser).

I live in Tokyo now.

considering Japan bombed the US for no reason with no warning it makes sense that they would try to prevent any possible future sneak attacks.

They were treat shabbily. Yes, it wasn't as bad as some countries in the world, but by the standards the US prided itself on they were treated terribly. Notice, that while the Japanese were rounded up (and not a single case of espionage was ever proven), the German citizens were not, and there were many cases of espionage proven against Germans in America. It was simply that the Japanese were easy to see and discriminate against.

They were also well treated, well cared for and had quite a few liberties while interned. College students were allowed to continue going to campus and, if the need was legit, others could get permission to leave the camp. they just couldn't stray too far from their designated destination and they had to be back by a certain time.

Was it a travesty of justice? Most definitely. Was it an "atrocity"? Absolutely not.

As has been said, it was a different time and the outlook was very different from what it is now. People and governments were being super paranoid because of the war and, sadly, bigotry was a lot more prevalent at the time. This doesn't excuse what happened, but it does explain some of it.

Deft rounding up every minuscule detail huh? "lands were smaller" - like any of that matters in war. How about comparing wanker sizes?
"overall outnumbering colonialists for the majority of the war" - ignorance at its finest. Do they teach you that stuff in history?
"official surrender" - we were pressured by every other nation in europe. Remember all your excuses you like using for Vietnam? We had it worse, and not just from domestic sources.

Dumbass american nationalists outta go learn some real history.

Good to see the monkey show up
