“The video also misleads by failing to inform the viewer that the internment did not affect Japanese-Americans in the interior of the United States not subject to the need to maintain operational security of the naval forces, air forces, and embarkation ports located in the coastal states”


Your statement makes absolutely no sense when applied to the Japanese in Hawaii-——few were interned.

Note, The Roosevelt Administration acted in what they believed was sufficient to deal with what they believed likely to be the principle threats among the 2,000 interned in Hawaii. The fact that the population was isolated on the islands and had little capability of traveling between defense sties located along the continental coastlines was deemed to be sufficient, and the policy allowed the economy to continue functioning in support of the defense installations in the Hawaiian Islands.
