I am sorry for your hurt. Possibly you will never get over it. But, your emotion disables you from discussing the matter.
You ask for respect in part because of the service of Japanese-Americans during WWII and say I am full of crap. I had three uncles who served during WWII, two Italian-American and one German-American. They fought against their very own ancestral nationality. My father served during the Korean War. I during the Viet Nam War. My son during the Iraq/Afghanistan War. And, you say I am full of crap. But, instead of me saying you are full of crap, I say you are hurt. To me, you don’t or maybe can’t care about treating others with the respect you demand for yourself.
By the way, did you serve in the military or did you raise a son who served in the military? (If you served, I take back everything I said about you and will simply say instead that you have earned the right to your opinion.)
In the case of the 100th Infantry, let’s take a complete look:
1,400 Japanese Americans served in that unit, out of a population of 125,000; or, about 1 percent.
In comparison, 11 million served in the armed forces overall, of a population of 132 million; or, about 8 percent.
What are we to make of this? That 1,400 Japanese Americans served with distinction; or, that only 1 Japanese American served for every 8 Non-Japanese Americans, relative to their number in the population?
This coin turns out to have two very different sides!
Here I’m going to repeat myself a bit: When it was determined that the rights of Japanese-Americans had been harmed (by a negligence on the part of the government in prosecuting its case), a payment was made. Sorry the payment was a flat payment, and not tied to the actual harms suffered by individuals, such as the particularly unfortunate cases you mention. The flat payments miscommunicated that the harm was done to a race, when differentiated payments would have communicated that the harm was done to individuals.
I had many relatives who served.
My uncle was in the 99th Infantry Division, 394th Regiment, Company I during WWII.
He fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was field promoted to Sergeant when his was KIA there. He then fought across Belgium to the Rhine. At the Rhine they happened to come across the last standing bridge at Remagen, that Germany had failed to destroy to slow down the Allied advance.
The 99th crossed the Remagen bridge on March 9, 1945 - the first division "en masse" to do so. They then fought to establish a bridgehead on the German side.
On March 11, 1945 my uncle was killed in action.
And yes, you are full of crap on your internment camp remarks...
