With hindsight many people now see that FDR following the general's advice was a mistake.
There it is again. Typical democrat avoidance of responsibility. You are STILL trying to insulate FDR from HIS RESPONSIBILITY for HIS DECISION because facing the cold, hard facts gets in the way of a misplaced hero-worship thing you've got going on for the worst scumbag to ever soil the office of President of the United States.
You can't even bring yourself to give your OWN opinion directly and without excuses and qualifications. Typical.
Perhaps personal opinions, particularly regarding historical events should be based on reason, facts, some historical perspective instead of emotion. And as FDR, and other presidents have discovered, some generals are not to be trusted for advice that benefits their own prejudices. If FDR had put forth 1066 for his own benefit, for money, for political reasons he should be chastised, but he believed his general that it was for the safety of the nation and acted accordingly.
If you want my personal opinion without excuses or qualifications, here it is: Yes.
