  1. Joe,
    Your point is excellent. I suggest readers look into two WWII units called the 100th BN and the 442nd INF Regiment. I served in the USAR combined version of these units back in 1995 in Hawaii called the 100thBN/442nd. These units were formed in 1942 and made up entirely of Japanese Americans from Hawaii. they fought in North Africa and Europe and remain, to this day, the most highly decorated units in the history of the US Army. The Japanese parents of the young men who served in these units demanded that their sons join the US Army after Pearl Harbor in order to restore their family honor since they were so ashamed that their former homeland had attacked the USA. These parents were often first generation immigrants born in Japan who now identified with the USA and expected their sons to fulfill their duty to their country of citizenship — the USA. Of course, among the politically correct all you hear about were those Japanese Americans who lost everything and were sent to relocation camps on the West Coast. Well Hawaii never got involved in that business since virtually every Japanese American family had a serving relative in the US Army. Most fought against Germany, a few brave souls joined the Counter-Intelligence Corps and put their Japanese language skills to work against Japan — a risky endeavor if captured by the Japanese. Now fast-forward to 2001. Any mass turnout of Arab American youth to join the US Army? Didn’t think so. And of those who did, a very small number served with honor — God bless them. Yet sadly, in some highly publicized cases, some committed fratricides, mass murder or treasonous acts against their serving American comrades. What is the difference between Japanese-Americans in WWII and Arab-Americans after 2001? One word: Islam.
    Thanks for all you do, Joe.
    Your commitment to the Truth, while unpopular, is a breath of fresh air in this politically correct age.
