Steve .....good post. While I also agree with the basic premise of injustice, one cannot compare the feelings or mood of the county after Pearl Harbor to today's standards.
Kind of like the monday morning quarterbacking regarding the use of the atom bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Any history buff familar with the battle at Iwo Jima probably realizes that the potential american loss of life from trying to unearth the japanese from the islands of Japan would have been devistating
My father was stationed in Yokohama after the war, where In attended kindergarden. We left when he was sent to Korea when the war broke out. I just wish I would have been older so I could have remembered more about the people and situation in Japan at that time.
