I certainly appreciate the distinction you are making and the historical context added from that time.
Clearly, from today’s perspective they don’t merit the term concentration camps if you view them against the ones we have been made aware of in Germany, Poland, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, Cambodia or most recently the Balkans.
I would never as you say “jump on” those who used the vocabulary of the day. In this case, the term is applied in the present tense with all the horrors between.
Thanks for the note and for your father’s service to our nation.
