I love stories like this. Race is taken into consideration way to frequently, stereotypes and such. It is also very surprising they were let into the army at all which make it even more amazing. The America of today needs to produce more tales like this one; the only people I hear about with any pride today are country boy southerners.
I have never forgotten what I saw on a PBS station when I was young; it changed forever how I see people. It was a short little clip with an American of Japanese decent. The point of it was that this young man was 5th generation American, and yet when he was growing up he was always made to feel different than other Americans, white Americans. He spoke zero Japanese and of course had no other country than this one.
Since then I never judge anyone in this country by their skin color etc.
This is an awesome video! I share the same view as you and Ben Kuroki did as well about America doing best as a melting pot. My family is from the Philippines, and my brother and uncle proudly joined and served in the US Army too.
People with Japanese ancestry wasn't loyal to Korea or China in Asia at the time of Japanese invasion. They turned against their country and submitted loyalty to Japan. They spied for Japan as well as carryingout military missions.
america is still a bit rasicst. but they are getting better. japan loves everythng western these days . witch i find kinda odd because we turned there biggest citys into dust along with the people in them .
@jordler - I don't think so. Many jpn people loves American things as one mode of newest, but that's all. We proud of our culture, convenience of everyday life and social infrastructure. It seemed that you misunderstood Japanese cause of someone pretending as Japanese. Huv you ever seen "Jpn Restaurant" which serves Korean food? esp. in Canada many Korean and Japanese Korean emigrated. and they tends to do pretend that they were Japanese in many situations. You should see them carefully please.
correction: "Japanese Korean" means something special. they ain't Japanese in Korea having citizenship. That means Koreans who stay in Japan having a special permanent residency because of historical and political issue.
@usframe same? no. I guess you never ate fondue. Each bite is different. One will be a little sharper than the first, or milder, the flavors mix, and make the whole dish better. Not all the same, but all better together than separate.
America at it's best is all Americans together. We can put a man on the moon, defeat the greatest military in the world, or solve any problem. Divided we fail. This is what the social engineers want, us divided.
O.k. this is true I believe very strongly in the American melting pot. That is under threat right now from the supposed thing called Illegal immigration.
I don't know the story. but I know a similar story, that is a story of "442nd Infantry Regiment".
People should fight for their community thy belonged even if they may fight to own country. Japanese people never call some kinda the bros betrayal because it is just the difference of which they belonged.
Men ain't born to be men ,but men became men when they wanted to be!

Ever make fondue? You know what you do if there are clumps that won't melt?
1) stir the pot
or
2) turn up the heat.
which do we need?
