What do the internment camps in the US have to do with the Japanese experiments?

[rockfish59]

yes, i want to know too how cruel it was in the camps where the japanese were given food, shelter, schools, gardens, health care, etc.
who cares about the slave labor, torture, starvation, beatings, murder and atrocities they inflicted on the americans, brits, & chinese?
hell, their CIVIL RIGHTS were violated when they were interned by those mean american captors!
the mean americans got just what they deserved when the 'goettge patrol' was ambushed on guadalcanal and the bodies were hacked to pieces by samurai swords.
who cares about the chinese babies who were tossed in the air and bayonetted in nanking?
the poor japanese internees had to actually chop up firewood for their wood stoves. what brutality!
we demand reparations NOW!!!

"What do the internment camps in the US have to do with the Japanese experiments?"

Everything. It demonstrates, by historical evidence, how differently the U.S. treats prisoners/internees. It juxtaposes the barbarity of totalitarian regimes against the relative civility of American practices. It speaks volumes about the character of the people we were fighting. Arguing against that is to be in denial, or simply a nihilist.
