By shortening the war by literally years, the broken codes saved MILLIONS of innocent lives. You may at least know that the sacrifice your family made was for the reason of protecting the paramount secret of the broken Magic codes. Indirectly, their sacrifice helped to shorten the war by years and saved millions of lives. That's something, isn't it?
Anyway, it sure beats being blown to bits in Coventry, because your leader made the hard decision to protect the broken Ultra code, instead of your town. Again, this sacrifice shortened the war by years, and saved millions of lives. The Nazis were just introducing jets, ballistic missiles and were working on the atomic bomb, so shortening the war by years literally did mean saving millions of lives.
On the other hand, perhaps you feel that your family's sacrifice was too great, and you would have preferred that FDR would have spared them their hardship, and condemned millions more to die as WW2 dragged on into the late 1940s?
In war, leaders from president to lieutenant routinely use feints and diversionary operations which they know are doomed, in order to win the greater battles. Is this immoral? Is it more moral to try 100% to save every soldier at every moment, if it means you will surely lose a war to a cruel enemy, because you will never use feints or diversionary operations? Sacrifice is part of war, unless you want to surrender to your enemies.
Sadly for your family, they were made to sacrifice, for the greater good of protecting the secret of the broken codes. But now you understand something you have never been told: there was a reason, and millions of lives were saved as a result of that sacrifice.
That sacrifice, and the reason for it, is what Michelle Malkin is going to describe in her book.
You just don't seem to get it! The tens of millions of refugees that you refer to were from OTHER COUNTRIES that operated under very DIFFERENT guiding principles from the US. Interning AMERICAN CITIZENS violated everything that we stood for as a Christian nation. There was a presumption of guilt that was not justified.
You, my FRiend would be singing a WHOLE different tune if the government came and took away your house and boat tomorrow.
I thank you for your service as a Navy Seal, but I am saddened by your lack of understanding as to what foundation this country is based on. Without a solid Christian foundation, this country is no better than Iraq.
Not only is general argument invalid (as I explained in a previous message), this specific example turns out, upon investigation, to be an urban legend.
