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.

Also, there were Japanese "patriotic" (and I don't mean the red, white and blue) groups as well as Japanese army veteran's groups that were active in the U.S. These groups comprised a few thousand amonst the entire "Japanese-American" population, and my understanding was that they were picked up fairly quickly after Pearl Harbor. That left only the question of who amongst the rest, many of whom had duel citizenship, were in fact sympathetic to Japan. Somehow the bigoted bastards running the country were of the foolish opinion that Japan not only wasn't going to suspend hostilities while we sorted it all out but was in fact about to invade the West Coast.
