This is why we put those niggers in camps

But I was told there was zero cases of Japanese-Americans supporting the Japs. xD

Side Note: Kinda surprised the natives held such a loyalty to the U.S. in the 40s

>>3131419
It was more like they liked the Japanese less than the Americans

Jacques Mesrine's life was an action movie.
There's also two movies about his criminal exploits which are worth watching.

>the French authorities decided they couldn't keep him locked up, so they literally assassinated him by hosing him down with machine gun fire on a city street
>had had a couple hand grenades and a pistol on his person at his time of death, despite the fact that he was just driving around with his girlfriend at the time

They thought they were just dealing with 1 guy who was unarmed. They didn't think that the entire Japanese population of the island was going to turn on them. Here is the score-card BTW.

In October 1942, during the Battle for Henderson Field, his unit came under attack by a regiment of approximately 3,000 soldiers from the Japanese Sendai Division. On October 24, Japanese forces began a frontal attack using machine guns, grenades, and mortars against the American heavy machine guns. Basilone commanded two sections of machine guns that fought for the next two days until only Basilone and two other Marines were left standing.[9][10] Basilone moved an extra gun into position and maintained continual fire against the incoming Japanese forces. He then repaired and manned another machine gun, holding the defensive line until replacements arrived. As the battle went on, ammunition became critically low. Despite their supply lines having been cut off by enemies in the rear, Basilone fought through hostile ground to resupply his heavy machine gunners with urgently needed ammunition. When the last of it ran out shortly before dawn on the second day, Basilone held off the Japanese soldiers attacking his position using his pistol and a machete. By the end of the engagement, Japanese forces opposite their section of the line were virtually annihilated. For his actions during the battle, he received the United States military's highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor.[11]

Afterwards, Private First Class Nash W. Phillips, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, recalled from the battle for Guadalcanal

"Basilone had a machine gun on the go for three days and nights without sleep, rest, or food. He was in a good emplacement, and causing the Japanese lots of trouble, not only firing his machine gun, but also using his pistol."

>Kanahele and his wife, taking advantage of the fatigue and discouragement of his two captors, leapt at them as the pilot handed the shotgun to Harada. When Nishikaichi pulled his pistol out of his boot, Ella Kanahele grabbed his arm and brought it down. Harada pulled her off the pilot, who then shot Ben Kanahele three times: in the groin, stomach, and upper leg. However, Kanahele was still able to pick up Nishikaichi, in the same manner that he hoisted the sheep that were commercially raised on the island, and hurl the pilot into a stone wall. Ella Kanahele then bashed him in the head with a rock, and Ben slit his throat with his hunting knife. Harada then turned the shotgun on himself, committing suicide
He shot himself during the fight lol. What is with japs?

>>3131883

Would you really want to fight some islander after he just threw a dude into a wall like a sack of shit despite being shot three times?

That same island was originally going to be the UN's headquarters and the natives were going to be deported to another Hawaiian island.
