Meanwhile, in fdr's Concentration Camps....

And to be honest, I find it rather insulting to the Japanese that he actually seems to believe they would have surrendered without an invasion. Like they would have just thrown up their hands in submission the moment Allied forces were about to invade them.

Yes. Most anybody would find this claim more than a little ridiculous.
 
CONCENTRATION CAMPS are never "proper" in the United States of America.
No one disagrees with that. Everyone knows the camps existed, that they were bad, that zero Japanese Americans were ever found guilty of collusion with the Empire of Japan.

It’s taught extensively in public schools. Back in the eighties, we read Farewell to Manzanar.

The way you present it, though, makes it seem like you’re grouping the internment camps of Japanese-Americans in with Hitler’s extermination camps or Stalin’s gulags. Not even close.

I never said that.
 
A concentration camp is a concentration camp.

No, they are not.

In technical terms, much of Iraq had "Concentration Camps" during the US occupation. Those were the safe zones that the Iraqis lived in.

In technical terms, the "Green Zone" in Baghdad was a Concentration Camp. All that lived in there had to be vetted before entry, and all access into it was restricted (especially from the "Red Zone"). That was to try and keep the jihadis out of it and to protect the people living and working the Green Zone.

And the same has been done globally for well over a century. The US did the same thing during the uprisings in the Philippines. Setting up villages like that to protect them from the Islamic insurgents that wanted to turn the islands into a new Caliphate.

Your grasp of history is seriously lacking here. It is so absolutely black and white that there is almost no truth in anything you say.

We need cameras in the classroom to monitor radical teachers like Unkotare
 

Where is the condemnation in any topic in here ever against the actions of Japan poop head? Because I have never seen you give any, ever. You just deflect it and spin in another direction.

Oh, and I am still waiting on the "correct" translation of うんこたれ. You sure screamed earlier that your name had been mistranslated. Am still waiting on what the correct translation should be.

So where do you house enemy alien civilians? Under international law, the country of residence is required to protect them from harm and common sense says they must be confined so they can't cause trouble. Prior to WWII the common practice was for both warring parties to ship them home under the supervision of a neutral party or nation. In WWII the Axis countries refused to follow that normal practice for some reason, so the USA was stuck with people who owed allegiance to a hostile power. What is your answer oh opinionated one?

That's like saying a prison is a prison. To say that you have to ignore the differences between Supermaxes where prisoners are allowed out of their cells for an hour a day and never contact another inmate and Club Feds where prisoners are treated almost like campers at summer camp and far better than military basic trainees.
