Texans in the "Lost Battalion" and the Japanese-Americans

During World War Two in France a group 270 from the Texas National Guard were encircled by the Nazis and cut off from the rest of the American military. There were two attempts to break through the siege, however both failed. The Texas National Guard became known as the "Lost Battalion." An American commandeer finally called up the 442nd to break through the siege.

The 442nd was made up of Japanese-American citizens. When America entered the war, Franklyn Delano Roosevelt (FDR) ordered the internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Many of which were born American citizens and naturalized citizens. The government feared there were fifth columnist among these American citizens who because of their ancestry became suspect. While in the internment camps, rather than build on hate for what was done to them, they volunteered to join the army and participate in America's war on fascism.

The 442nd served bravely in Italy and France. This unit earned five Congressional Medal of Honors, ten Distinguished Service Crosses, and six Presidential Distinguished Unit Citations.

@OsamaHeadshot Still unnecesary racism, you only think this is good because you are white, in the majority and do not fear that uncle Sam would knock on your door when war is ahead. Coward.

[OsamaHeadshot]

@Imhornydadcomeinside what Russians were living in Japan prior to WW2 and hence became interred? Answer; fuck all.

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@OsamaHeadshot Oh no! There is people in Japan that displays nationalism! That NEVER happens in America or anywhere else! Golly gee wilickers, I'm really scared now.

Okay, so when we war against Russia, we should take all the russians, or considered russian, to jail?

"No because that's ridicolous, because white people never betray America, only people of different races" Stupid tactic that will only spread unrest. Different times today, we should just say no to unnesecary racism

@Imhornydadcomeinside avoid displaying their patriotism? Oh Weallllllllllyyyyyyy (said in a faggy Elmer Fudd voice)? That's not consistent with comments I have recieved from Japanese who stated that "Japan will take over the world" for example.

A good thing? I don't think war or imprisonment are implicitly good or bad but I do think that the interrment of foreign nationals with whome your nation is at war has been a standard practice for eons. Much more traditional than your factory whalers

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@OsamaHeadshot Who says this? Japanese people have become very liberal because of that war, you will notice because of the general public avoid displaying their patriotism.

And you really didn't respond to my claim, so I take it like you think it is a good thing that japanese people got their asses in prison during WWII?

[OsamaHeadshot]

@Imhornydadcomeinside Now with this bit of crap instead of saying "you know what Japan's invasion of China, annexation of SE Asian Nations and Pac Islands, attempted invasion of Australia and attack on America were probably just a bit misguided and the Japanese people are sorry". Instead he muddies the waters by saying "look at how great some Japanese were in that war!"

[OsamaHeadshot]

@Imhornydadcomeinside totally, I am just sick to death of this bullshit artist relentlesly trying to deny the truth. He constantly claims that the Japanese ignoring the IWC ban on whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is not wrong and all sorts of other bullshit.

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@OsamaHeadshot I think the lesson here is that just because Japanese people invaded USA, it doesn't mean that japanese-americans are on their side.

Amen...  My Senator, Senator Dan Inouye, lost his arm in WWII.

[OsamaHeadshot]

Oh I geddit, because a few hundred Japanese-Americans fought for America rather than be interred that makes it OK that every other Japanese on the planet was trying to invade the entire Pacific rim killing everyone who opposed them? Dickhead.
