http://www.japantoday.com/category/...ul-truths-about-japanese-american-internment/


"Attempting escape, resisting orders, and treason were all punishable by death in internment camps. Guards would face little consequence for killing without just cause.

A mentally ill man in his mid-forties, Ichiro Shimoda, was shot trying to escape in 1942. He’d attempted suicide twice since entering the camp, and the guards were well aware of his mental illness. That same year, two Californians were killed during an alleged escape attempt from the Lourdsburg, New Mexico camp. It was later revealed that Hirota Isomura and Toshiro Kobata were both extremely weak upon arrival—too weak to walk, much less escape.

A handful of guards went to court for their wrongdoings but with disappointing results. One guard was tried for the 1943 murder of an elderly chef named James Hatsuki Wakasa. He was found not guilty. Private Bernard Goe was also tried after killing Shoichi James Okamoto. Goe was acquitted and fined for unauthorized use of government property. The amount: $1—the cost of the bullet used to kill the victim."

As the most famous jap I know george tekai says, "oh my"

Have you heard how the japs Russians and German treated their prisoners?

I understand those were Americans but they were also the enemy. America wasn't as liberal and tolerant as it is now. Today we don't lock up Arabs but we do monitor non Americans phones and emails. Hell, they probably spy on all of us.

If Arabs started suicide bombing in America I wonder how we would react. How would you?

I understand those were Americans but they were also the enemy.

really

you guys will excuse anything

as long as it furthers the party

If Muslims start suicide bombing here we'll round them up too.

If we had the ability to round up jap Americans why can't we do the same with illegal immigrants.

PS. I know what we did to the Jap Americans was wrong

we have had several radicals terrorizing folks in this country

no one is talking about rounding them up

Yea Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh. You Americans don't know what being terrorized is. We are lucky Obama has kept us safe. Remember repugs said bush was keeping uscsafe after 911? So has Obama and he didn't have a 9-11 happen to him.

 

[sealybobo]

Abe would not disagree with you.

Japan was invading other countries from 1933 on. Burma, Korea onto China Wow. America stopped funding Japan, which pissed them of to the point they attacked us at Pearl Harbor. Sneak attack. What reason did Japan have for this? Long term comprehension, spelling and grammar optional. Japan was an international menace, killed millions, started the war in the pacific. Saying "We are sorry", priceless.

Citing Japanese atrocities is not a defense for placing innocent Americans in concentration camps. How can allegedly educated Americans possibly promote that idiotic argument? You could almost understand rounding up all the Japanese on Hawaii but they didn't. FDR's executive order only put middle class hard working Japanese American citizens in jail in California. It's unbelievable that the same people who are adamant about so-called "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens would defend FDR's order to incarcerate American citizens.

Who knew where their loyalty was. .

No Japanese-Americans were convicted of espionage or sabotage throughout the war (unlike German Americans), and the 442 is still the most highly decorated unit in U.S. Military history.

Who was really loyal was pretty fucking clear, and it wasn't that scumbag fdr.

Calling FDR a scumbag for interning Japanese in WWII is the same as calling America and what we refer to as "The Greatest Generation" as scumbags.

The action to intern the Japanese was overwhelmingly supported by the American population. They believed and many still believe that if not for the US Navel victories in the Pacific against the huge overwhelming force of the Japanese Navy, the US west coast would have experienced major attacks.

The guy you call a scumbag was the guy responsible for insisting, promoting and eventually developing and producing advanced aircraft carriers and attack aircraft that defeated the Japanese Navy, which would have been greatly advanced technologically if FDR did not have the knowledge of Navel warfare and the skill to advance the US Navy in a way that would shock the Japanese Navel commanders. The US Navy would have most surely been defeated in the Pacific if FDR's advancement had not been supported and made during his first two terms in office during the 1930's.

Most people are not knowledgeable or ignore an important fact about FDR. He served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy for seven years, 1913 to 1920, before during and after WWI. Before becoming a politician he spent years working with and coordinating military affairs and spending time with military commanders. He was in fact, a military expert with a military background.

People always like to say America was founded by Christians but what seems obvious to me is that this country was founded by a bunch of racists

Why are you convinced that the internment of Japanese in WWII was racist based?

It sure seemed racist. If we were at war with Greece you wouldn't round us up would you? And we didn't do it to Germany. Didn't a bomb them either. I get what you're saying though.

But we're jap Americans causing trouble?

Just cause they don't look like Americans? Why did we round them up then? And are you suggesting it was the right thing to do?

The Japanese were rounded up and interned because it was easy to do, the numbers were limited (120,000), it was regional and their was a strong political lobby group, business interest promoting it. It was profitable to do it for those who lobbied for it.

"Attempting escape, resisting orders, and treason were all punishable by death in internment camps. Guards would face little consequence for killing without just cause.

A mentally ill man in his mid-forties, Ichiro Shimoda, was shot trying to escape in 1942. He’d attempted suicide twice since entering the camp, and the guards were well aware of his mental illness. That same year, two Californians were killed during an alleged escape attempt from the Lourdsburg, New Mexico camp. It was later revealed that Hirota Isomura and Toshiro Kobata were both extremely weak upon arrival—too weak to walk, much less escape.

A handful of guards went to court for their wrongdoings but with disappointing results. One guard was tried for the 1943 murder of an elderly chef named James Hatsuki Wakasa. He was found not guilty. Private Bernard Goe was also tried after killing Shoichi James Okamoto. Goe was acquitted and fined for unauthorized use of government property. The amount: $1—the cost of the bullet used to kill the victim."

[Decus]

I can't seem to find the information regarding Americans of German or Italian descent being rounded up and sent to concentration camps in the US but I did find this:

"The order set into motion the exclusion from certain areas, and the evacuation and mass incarceration of 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast, most of whom were U.S. citizens or legal permanent resident aliens.


These Japanese Americans, half of whom were children, were incarcerated for up to 4 years, without due process of law or any factual basis, in bleak, remote camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards."

.......

"President Roosevelt himself called the 10 facilities "concentration camps.""

Children of the Camps INTERNMENT HISTORY

FDR was a racist. Had he not been, he would have also locked up Americans of German and Italian descent.

Are you so insecure in your position that you feel the need to engage in dishonesty so often? Or are you trying to indicate an inability to be an honest interlocutor? Or, without logical fallacy to fall back on are you just incapable of reasoned discussion at all? A lack of character, integrity, or intelligence has left you without reasonable options.

What have I said that is dishonest? Enough with the accusations. Just say what you think I have said is dishonest.

So you can call someone a liar but when asked to be specific you punk out.

If you seriously don't realize that deliberately misrepresenting someone is dishonest, you have problems you need to resolve before continuing any discussion here. Stop wasting time.

So forget the historians if that nettles you, how about the people of that period, they elected FDR four times and that is a record that will probably stand for some time. The people of the period knew about the internment camps and all the other charges Republicans can muster up against FDR some seventy years later. and the people still voted for FDR. Perhaps Republicans should be trying to figure out how to elect someone better than their last president, fifth worst. The president that Jeb Bush never seems to have heard of.
