It was. Japanese fought with distinction in the US military after Pearl Harbor

There is something VERY important that you left out, though, Rokke.

The Japanese who were enlisted to fight for the United States in World War II were sent to the _European_ theather. They DID NOT fight other Japanese.

And, having said that, I postulate:
When the time comes - and it will - can we expect Islamic officers of our own forces to lead their troops against other Islamics?

Well, perhaps. But speaking for myself, I would not trust them in such a command.

I'm sure you would, right?

I've witnessed it happening. Time and time again.
