We had Japanese-Americans in the army, but put them in the European theater.
Hitler’s brother was in the US Navy...in the Pacific theater, I believe.
I know what you’re saying though, and I agree.
There were thousand of Americans of Japanese ancestory who served in the Pacific in the Military Intelligence Sevice. Many military historians think they shortened the war by months or years but their work was classified for many years.
The irony was that you had to be educated in Japan to serve in the Pacific. Most Nisei like my father and uncles did not speak and write Japanese well enough to serve in the MIS.

One of our employees was Japanese and spent the entire WW2 in the Pacific with 2 guards with him at all times. He was used for interogation.
