"If you've studied any military history at all you know that this is a piss poor analogy."

Well, apparently you haven't. Japanese Americans fought in every theater during WWII and were responsible for some of our most important intelligence break throughs in the Pacific theater.

How do you explain the Japanese internment camps during the war?

"Well, apparently you haven't. Japanese Americans fought in every theater during WWII and were responsible for some of our most important intelligence break throughs in the Pacific theater."

Nisei generally didn't serve in the Pacific theater (there was a ban) and most of the intel breakthroughs were a product of the code breakers at NI.

Many Nisei served honorably and with distinction in the European thater (in fact, many wanted desperately to prove their loyalty quite unlike the general WHINING coming from the American "Muslim community"), but that doesn't change the fact that there were perfectly logical reasons based on existing intelligence to intern Issei and their Nisei children (German and Italian resident aliens were interned too, but they don't get the press) away from critical defense sectors.

The 442nd had no Nisei officers.
