Japanese Code-Breakers

[Dibbons]

Saved American lives while their families confined in camps.

Don’t forget the Native American Code Breakers.

I don’t think any of the code breakers get the attention they deserve. Without code breakers, and code talkers we’d have a very different outcome

Hero’s of many types and contributions during WW II. These guys could have blown the military off but chose not to because this was their adopted country and they still believed in it as well as knowing their mother country was wrong in waging war against the world.

BTW - many think it was a terrible act of inhumanity that the govt rounded up the Japanese in this country out of fear they may be spies or plotting against the USA during wartime. I’m curious what would people think today if this same issue came up only it was war with the Chinese - we know beyond a shadow of aNy doubt there are many in this country that work against it and for the CCP. What should we do….?

Many were true patriots,
it was FDRs decision to put the Japenese in encampments
he didn't have really good advice, he let Pearl Harbor get attacked
the way he (his military leaders) had the military stage the planes & ships etc.
(he is the Commander in Chief, buck stops there)
he wanted in the War (like our current Pres. is doing, in Ukraine)
it was a different world/time
freaken' warmongers

don't get me wrong;
I think that was the greatest generation
but some horrific decisions were made, some very hastily
& unconstitutionally too, because of war or a certain party & their ambitions
or outright racism in many cases, hatred for the enemy/races

If we were at war with China, or any other country
we 'should' round up any & all the nefarious types, we know of
(non-US Citizens, question them at a min., it's the FBI's real job)
Chinese sympathizers/CCP, Chinese citizens & either put them in Guantanamo Bay
like war combatants should all be, domestic or foriegn
or deport their asses immediately, not let them back in
if we had any proof of them being spies/combatants or working for the CCP

If they are US citizens it's a completely different story
they need their due process not just a brown shirt style socialist govt. rounding them up
& putting them in camps

they did the same to Germans too

I know a couple of families of both German & Japanese descent
that were treated horribly, both fathers (great grandfathers now)
served in WWII for the USA Military, before their families were imprisoned
one was a Navy pilot, one was on a sub, a Cheif officer
at the time too

to the OP, this thread & subject
really doesn't belong in the GD forum either
no way it can't be political, wars or any discussion of them, are politics

the truth hurts sometimes too

Correct, it won't be long now before everything one says will be subject to the political forum.
