I don’t remember the military being so PC back when. Growing up in an area that was full of soldiers and sailors, I’m finding this new Army a little disconcerting.

Exactly. I never said “lets round up everyone in America from the middle east” like we did the japanese americans, but having them run around in the military during a war in which were fighting them….. doesnt make much sense.

The Japanese never went around yelling anti-American slogans.

There _IS_ a deference. The Japanese Internement was just simply wrong. It was wrong then, and it is wrong now in retrospect.

Internment of Moslems would also be wrong, Internemt of people yeling anti-american slogans makes some sense.

The down side of that is we would lose most our academic faculty and a lot of Congress.

Wait. “downside”?????

I figured SOME japanese Americans had to at least be in the service when war broke out, at least, Im not entirely ignorant. I have actually studied WWII, but Ive always avoided the treatment of the japanese americans, etc. because Ive been interested in the strategies, the war itself, not the bleeding heart stories or the idiotic things we did to our own people. We segregated more than just Japanese, too.
I looked it up, and they indeed served in segregated units. They werent allowed to mingle / mix with other units. They didnt let them run amok in military bases. they kept a close watch on them, kept daily logs of their activities, etc.
Looking back it seemed very silly, but today were fighting an ideology, not just people with “slanted eyes and yellow skin”. An ideology that happens to follow along with people of a certain heritage, i.e. all the ones who flew planes into skyscrapers, have been on the most wanted list, etc etc. Which is alot scarier and a little harder to identify.
Which was my point.

Not accurate sb. 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, 522nd Field Artillery Battalion, and quite a few served in Military Intelligence.

Well, Larry…. it may sound cold of me, but now you know WHY we didnt allow any people of japanese heritage to serve in the armed forces during WWII…. we’re fighting radical muslims in 2 different countries now, and we allowed one to be roaming free in our military?
I say HELL YES to racial / relgious profiling.
This man is why.
Sometimes caution and common sense need to rule the day, as opposed to being “pc”.
If youre fighting a war against people screaming Allah, MAYBE you shouldnt allow one in the army, then act all shocked when he whips out some guns to blow people away?
Food for thought.

I find it interesting that during World War II the Democrats confiscated the property of people Japanese ancestry, and imprisoned them on no evidence of disloyalty whatever. (I don’t remember ever hearing of an assertion that any of them had done anything that could be construed as disloyal. I could be wrong, surely there must have een one sonewhere.)

Here we have a man whos has declared war against us, advocated war against us, declared people have died in the war against to be heroes IN OUR ARMY!

He got winged by a WOMAN. That’s going to hurt him worse than the firing squad.
(Her name hasn’t been released yet–she was wounded but survived–but I want stuff named after her. A base, an elementary school, or at the very least new weapon.)
