I can tell you that here in Hawaii the talk and expressed opinions are heavily in the direction of hanging our heads in shame that an officer, an Island boy would be the one to bring dishonor. This is the home of the most decorated combat Regiment in WWII...the famous 442nd....the go for broke guys. These guys are now in their 80's and very disapointed that the first officer to refuse to follow orders to deploy to Iraq is of Japanese ancestry, as are they. Auwe, Auwe

No one even mentions it here in Hilo. Watada's father is a pol kingpin so thoughts are repressed among the members of the machine.

Also, listen to the Akaka ads. Just follow the herd.

The 442nd got honors the hard was...they earned it.
