I keep hearing from the Left and the MSM that there was no real danger from the Japanese and Japanese-Americans who were uprooted and sent to internment camps. But I do recall reading at least one interesting case from Hawaii having to do with infiltrators and Japanese-Americans giving aid to them. Also the heroic actions of Hawaiians and Japanese-Americans there, to foil the plot.

I have no doubt that FDR’s actions may have been too much. But I agree with them, considering the time and the war. Trying to even things out based on present PC lunacy is simply childish and silly. It’s why I have to shake my head at Lefties bitching about Washington or Jefferson for being slaveholders. My response is, “So what? Who cares? That was over 200 years ago. Get over it! Grow up! Get a life!”

The same for a$$hats that have BDS and want Bush hung for interning animals captured on foreign battlefields.

Hey! Screw you! He’s right! The Supreme Court is wrong! Remember Dred Scott? Figure it out, Dip$hit$!

Sheesh!

Oral History Interview with Karl R. Bendetsen General counsel, Department of the Army, 1949; Assistant Secretary of the Army, 1950-52; Under Secretary of the Army, 1952. New York City, New York October 24, 1972 by Jerry N. Hess NOTICE This is a transcript of a tape-recorded interview conducted for the Harry S. Truman Library. LINK

BENDETSEN: “Exactly. Internment was never intended. The intention and purpose was to resettle these persons east of the mountain ranges of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, away from the sea frontier and away from the relatively open boundaries between Mexico and the states of Arizona and New Mexico.”

“When I returned on temporary duty, to my amazement, I learned that in every one of the ten centers there were grave problems. It seems that during the intervening months in each of the ten centers many militant activists had surfaced. Agitation was rife. There were fires; there were pitched battles. WRA had to provide heavy guard forces. All was in turmoil. No evacuees had been resettled at all since the time when the WRA assumed responsibility.We determined who the militants were in each center. We took a head count. The number of those who were apparently beyond any early rehabilitation was large. They and their families would fill a large relocation center. I then concluded after extensive analyses and consultations that the relocation center at Tule Lake, California, was of the size and had the right facilities to accommodate all of the identified militants and their families.”
