I know - it’s one of the things that makes me tear my hair. It’s also a sign that someone’s losing their grip on political reality that they start trying to justify something that wasn’t even justifiable at the time it was done.

Think about this: if Americans of Japanese descent were so very dangerous that they had to be locked up, how come we recruited their sons, husbands and brothers for our army?

The Japanese volunteers fought pretty damn hard in Europe too. I think they were among the most decorated and suffered a higher percentage of causalities than most other units.
