Do I think the internment camps should have happened? No. It is a sad chapter in our history. But it may have saved their lives, as cruel as it was. A German could change his name and blend in. A Japanese citizen..not so much. A Japanese citizen was not allowed citizenship during that time. But yet we called on them to fight. The Japanese were so harsh during the war. I would have been been scared to have lived here freely had I been Japanese.

The native Americans were as important as any minority. or other fighting group imo. But maligned. as usual.They fought, hard and provided the “Wind Talkers”.

There is no doubt there were some challenged commanders in all the wars we have fought. But this series brought up a good point. We had few seasoned commanders or soldiers. I found it interesting the name of the commanders were shielded. I guess google was not their buddy. :)

Do whatever it takes to win ..bottom line The Japanese would have, the Germans would have. The terrorists will. Give it some thought,

Japanese could become citizens at that time, many were. The show points out that Japanese-American citizens were interned.

German and Italian Americans didn’t need to change their names.

"The American Indian is brilliantly documented along with the rest of the great soldiers of the WWII 45th "Thunderbird" Division in the book The Rock of Anzio by Flint Whitlock (yeah, his real name) available on Amazon.

My Dad was a radio man for the 180th Co E and always had an Indian by his side to do the talking. That is where the Marines got the idea for the Wind Talkers.
