They had all volunteered to join the Army's segregated unit, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which eventually would become one of its most decorated, winning 21 Medals of Honor, 53 Distinguished Service Crosses. 580 Silver Star, 4,000 Bronze Stars and 12 French Croix de Guerres. Twenty of the Medal of Honors were awarded only eight years ago after the Army was forced to review the wartime records of the unit.


Hmmmm.
Once again. Fail.

They put aside that the government was segregating them into internment camps and FOUGHT despite opinions like yours.

Do you know that this is a different time, a different place and a different enemy. Any values that we had have to go out the window b/c we're fighting an enemy that has no values - so we have to loose ours.

and that is why we took few japanese prisoners and nuked 2 cities.

I believe we as a military force treated german troops with much more dignity than japanese.
My grandfather fought in Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Saipan, where he was almost fataly wounded. he was the youngest marine captian in the history of the marines.. He will tell you that a few of his men had collections of japanese ears, shot those who offered to surrender and treated them like insects.

the difference is back then, we knew who we were fighting. Now, the person we are fighting might live next door to you.

Probably correct and I don't want anyone to ever be able to compare US soldiers to al queda, the WWII Japs, etc.
