I don't know your age, so I have way of knowing if you were alive during WWII or not. Your profile page asks: "Any questions." , so I say yes, what is your date of birth?

I would guess, post war sometime, or else you would be aware that everyone in America and the world, suffered in many ways-some more than others, but don't you think for a second that life for everyone in America went on as usual except for the troops and their loved ones, like the undeclared and un-won wars since.

That crap about borrowing someone's daughter for a few days makes you sound like some kind of preditor who should be registered with the Sheriff's department in your town.

First of all, I was born after WWII though age has nothing to do with it. I will grant that having lived through something does give an original historical perspective, but it doesn't give one the ability to forge fact from fiction. I didn't live through the revolutionary war either, but I am educated enough to comment on it.

If I had lived through WWII, I would still know that internment and rationing are infinitely different. I would also understand that trivializing freedom trivializes those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Moral relativism isn't right when liberals do it, and it is no less wrong when conservatives do. All Americans sacrificed during WWII, but when you take away an American's freedom you take away everything they are willing to sacrifice for.

I have no problem with arresting foreigners and deporting them or putting them on military tribunal. I have no problem trying US citizens for treason. But if you are going to defend the illegal detainment of US citizens solely on the basis of their ancestry, then I have a problem with it.

As to the daughter comment, I find it interesting you are "clever" enough to look at my profile page and question my age as though it had relevance, but you are not intelligent enough to recognize hyperbole. Most people who are sympathetic to evil are able to more clearly recognize their error when confronted with a personal example.
