Apparently they only wouldn't have been safe on the west coast, since those were the only Japanese Americans interned. For those in Hawaii and in the rest of the United States, there was no internment. Seriously, it's absurd to try to spin that as some sort of benevolent protective arrangement.
I did not mean it in absolute terms. Certainly security was in the forefront of their minds. I think that their safety was of major concern in the decision. That is what I have been taught but as with many of the things that I have been taught... it could be another distortion. My point is still valid.
