FDR is described has one of the "great president" in history school books.

So he was, of course, a criminal of the worst kind.

The National Defense Authorization Act is now declaring war on the American people.

[Frank Anderson]

That was a tragic time. Consider too, that one third of American prisoners of war in Japanese prison camps died in the care of Japanese, either by starvation, exposure to the elements, disease, or outright murder. I think I'd rather have been a Japanese civilian or POW interned by America, than an American civilian or POW interned by the Japanese during WW2.

The American public school system needs to take this part of our history more seriously and teach our students the extent of how wrong our government was. If we do not learn from our past, we are doomed to repeat it.

[roseane1243]

General John L. DeWitt and all you racists like him, you'll be rotting in hell forever.

[The64tonic]

hopefully, anyone old enough to remember this is preaching tolerance and understanding for our fellow Americans who also happen to be Muslim

[javakogan]

This is simply horrible, and I am ashamed as an American that we did such things.

[Underground power]

Racism is the main pillar propping up war; you'd think both would be archaic now.

[Wolfstanus]

Then why did government leaders say " maybe" "probably not" "I don't know" etc when asked if it did? Fiensteins revision of ndaa would have allowed such by interpretation.

[Cartanith Fitz]

alright we know

[Exarian]

The NDAA actually does nothing of the sort. None of the provisions authorizes any new powers, and the powers you claim was there have been there for over a decade already. If anything, the NDAA actually weakened the powers already at place.

Also, after the end of WW2 when the Japanese were released from the internment camps they were on their own. No help in getting reestablished, the property seized was never returned to them. It was decades before any kind of reparations and acknowledgement of this travesty was even brought up. The same treatment was given to Italian Americans as well. One of our countries saddest hours next to the slavery of blacks brought over from Africa hundreds of years ago.
