Tokyo Rose refused the Japanese demand to give up her American citizenship as well as to broadcast anything bad about America.

I had the impression that many troops looked forward to her daily 2 to 3 minute broadcasts as she was funny and entertaining.
The DOD judged that her effect was “innocuous”.

Interesting. The fact that she was a citizen is what made her amenable to a charge of treason.

Kawakita argued he was NOT a citizen. The court rejected his argument.
