You should be ashamed for dragging in your father in law. The greater good of America was more important than your lame outrage... pure emotionalism. Japanese were lopping off the heads of American prisoners and putting them on death marches which is the real outrage.

You're right. That was an outrage. But that doesn't change the fact that the internment was also an outrage. Not the same outrage, but nobody here is saying that we're worse for the internment than the Japanese were for the death marches.

In this country, we don't hold people responsible for the actions of others. Nobody interned at the camps had anything to do with that. Nobody interned at the camps ever beheaded an American prisoner. Nobody interned at the camps ever put anyone on a death march.

Hitler gassed millions of Jews. That wasn't the fault of German-Americans. It was Hitler's fault.

Not Japanese Americans interned, who suffered for the sins of their brothers in Japan. Tuff luck!

In this country, we don't hold people responsible for the sins of their brothers. Or their fathers. Or their grandfathers. Or guys they went to high school with. Or anybody's sins but theirs.

The internment was un-American. "Tuff luck" to you.

LOL. It was necessary after the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. If politically correct people (wusses) like you had been running WW2 we would have lost. Bold action was needed and the Nisei got swept up due to Pearl Harbor. So in retrospect none of the internees were traitors? That's Monday morning quarterbacking.
