Can't let them do another sneak attack.

Maybe I should have made the thread more /pol/ friendly

I don't know the case specifically, but in my opinion internment was one of those things that was obviously on-the-nose immoral and unlawful but justifiable in the "we were at war nigga the stakes are too high to pull punches" sense.

There were probably better ways to vet loyal and disloyal Japanese, though.

Introducing it with a court case 99% of /his/ hasn't read is probably part of the problem. If you go broader or explain better in the OP you're more likely to get a response.

Or if you bait /pol/ into it, but it's better you don't if you actually want a discussion rather than just (you)s.

This. I mean you honestly can't trust someone that is from that exact ethnic group you are at total war with. It's a "Sorry we did that, but it was a necessity. Ooops."

>>2189201

Well, except for the fact that the policy of Japanese internment was ridiculously haphazard.

One of the reasons you could give to get out of said camp is "Enlisted in army" (Although they'd be sure to stick you in Europe)

>>2189210
Well I guess if they thought you were willing to fight for the U.S., you were alright. I mean they could send information to Japan, it would be hard and it wouldn't help since you were in Europe.

>>2189210

I see no reason why that wouldn't be a reason to get out of camp. Like you said, as long as they stuck you in Europe you probably weren't going to be able to do much to help the Japanese war effort. At best you could desert, but I'd be willing to bet Japanese-American soldiers would still be under some level of scrutiny within the military.

As with everything about America, it suffers from either some dialectical error(E.g All men are created equal, but we still have slaves lol), or some kind of hideous moral hypocrisy, such as megachurches interspersed between brothels and casinos.

>Who was in the right here?
Definitely not a government that interned its own citizens. However, the US government can just say, "B-but look at what the Nazis did!"

Thanks for that. I had a good chuckle.
