The Japanese slaughtered Chinese civilians by the hundreds of thousands and kidnapped thousands of Korean women for sex slaves, and tortured captured American soldiers.

Roosevelt put 110,000 in camps to prevent sabotage. I think, somewhere in all that, the self-righteous outrage can be tamped down.

Federal troops, in the South, killed tens of thousands of civilians. You never hear any outrage over that.

Mainly because union troops didn't kill tens of thousands of civilians. Not even remotely close.

That was, I believe, how they justified it. But there had been no sabotage, no evidence sabotage was being planned, and no real justification for doing it.

And killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Japan and Germany during World War II. War is hell, so what's your point?
