Yes, this country was really free in the early 1940’s. We incarcerated an entire people, because of something that happened in Hawaii. People were torn out of their homes. They lost their homes, their businesses, and their chldren lost their schooling. The people in Hawaii, on the other hand did not incarcerate anyone except a few very specific Japanese. Eventually the US government made it possible for Japanese/Americans to serve in the European theater, which they did with great courage. This, if I remember correctly, while their parents were still in concentration camps. And if you feel inclined to flame me, consider I have a son in Special Forces who has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and plans to do his 20.
