An uncle of mine by marriage was German American. He fought for our side in WWI and helped two aunts of his come to America just before WWII started.

It turned out these two 60 somethings were dyed in the wool Nazis and would have done anything to help the Nazis. He knew nothing of this side until the government came knocking at his aunts door to lock them up.

When the government came to intern them in a "camp", they cried and called him for help. When he saw the evidence, he asked for permission to shoot them.

They were locked up in a camp somewhere near Venita, Okla, with other Nazis like themselves and some captured Nazi prisoners.

When the war was over, this Uncle was able to get his aunts shipped back to Germany. He personally would have shot them if not for the law.

This is an interesting story, but not that relevent to the wholesale internment of Americans. If the government had this kind of evidence on all the Americans the government interned during WWII, I would have no quarrel with the internments at all.

Another point worth mentioning is that the younger generation of Japanese, called the Kisei, IIRC, had been sent back to Japan for studies.

They came back radicalised after being indoctrinated with Bushido'ism. They were, in fact, more anti American than their parents in a lot of cases, too.

An analogy to today is the large number of Arabislami American youth who have been totally captivated and indoctrinated by Saudi wacky wahhabist deathlust indoctrination. Except these guys and gals didn't have to go to Saudi. It happened and is happening right here and now in the numerous Saudi sponsored schools operating right here in the USA.

Every day we don't take down the Saudis, the cost in blood goes up as the money keeps flowing from the Tragic Kingdom to their jihadi brothers all across the world.
