Good post, and I agree.
Michelle Malkin had a book titled 'A Case for Internment' that laid out the rationale for the interment of American citizens of Japanese descent in WWII.
Yes it sucked, but it is hard to comprehend how it could have been avoided. Japan destroyed much of our Pacific fleet; there were legitimate concerns about Japanese invasions of the West Coast (particularly as they rolled through much of the Pacific); and prior to WWII many of these American citizens had joined organizations that pledged allegiance to the Emperor.
As noted, many of these citizens proved their mettle and courage during WWII as they fought for our Country - while many of their relatives were interned - but the rationale for the internment was sound.

It was unfortunate, but get over it, and stop digging at scabs. I know it is the anti-American way to do so - but this attitude helps no one (except for the communists and American haters). It doesn't help the Nation, nor those who cultivate a victimization mentality.

“It was unfortunate, but get over it”

That’s a pretty stupid demand to make of these people.

Yeah we put you American citizens in camps, and you or your reletives went on to be some of our best troops, but STFU about it because that was like ages ago?
