US Citizens Stripped of Their Citizenship?

[Unkotare]

Fear makes people (and governments) do stupid, crazy shit. War causes fear. If those in government are weak of character, bad things can and do happen.

Go research how the Japanese-Americans were treated.

I don't need to.

I don't need to.

Huh?

Does this suggest you are aware of the internment camps or that you don't care to?

WWII was a different time for sure. People were very frightened and recall the U.S didn't complete the atom bomb yet, but they knew someone would.

If it were Japan or Germany, they assumed their nation would be at the mercy of their every whim. Though oddly the Germans weren't treated the same way in the U.S.

Again, a different time.

Actually Germans and Italians were put into internment camps too, but not to the same extent as the Japanese.

Those were dangerous times. Imagine if the Axis forces had developed the nuke first? Think of what American leaders were feeling at that time with such a risk.

 

[Failzero]

I don't need to.

And Italians & Germans during same time frame

Germans were interned if they were a threat on the East Coast and in fact some were not released until 1948.

Thousands of Italians were detained also ( some for long periods )

Yet your beloved Japanese were not stripped of Citizenship and in fact the camps were created because the Government did not give them time to move on their own. And unlike German and Italian detainees the Japanese were ruled in favor of removing the restrictions by the Supreme Court.

They should have been thinking "We'd better stop the Axis Powers before they develop a nuclear bomb" instead of "We'd better throw innocent Americans into concentration camps."

Germany did not attack us. Japan did. Right or wrong, the justification of Japanese interment, mostly on the west coast, was in fear of an imminent attack on the mainland and the uncertainty of how many Japanese living in America would aid and abet that. The U.S. did come to accept that method of protecting us was ill advised and grossly unfair to Japanese Americans and they did make reasonable restitution to those harmed by it.

The history of ALL nations is checkered throughout with the good, the bad, and the ugly, and while we should learn from our mistakes, we should not hold the current generation accountable for the 'sins' of their fathers when the current generation does not engage in those 'sins'.

Dozens of American Ships were sunk by Germans prior to Pearl Harbor on the Eastern Seaboard

In World War I that is true. Be we had re-established diplomatic relations with Germany well before Pearl Harbor with a U.S. embassy in Berlin and a German embassy in Washington DC. The USA first established diplomatic relations with German in 1871.

we were fighting the Germans in the Atlantic long before pearl harbor. We took over convoy protection up to Iceland I believe.
