I am particularly impressed with th...Thanks CTone!<br /><br />I am particularly impressed with the conduct of the Japanese=Americans. However I don't compare them to their cousins in the Pacific theater. To compare them would be like comparing apples to oranges.<br /><br />The Imperial Japanese Army members were trained to do or die from almost the time of their birth. A sense of unity for the common good was a part of life and to break from this thought process was unthinkable.<br /><br />While the Nisei on the other hand were born and raised Americans. They had none of the "indoctrination" that the Japanese military had. They were brought up on Coke and Jitter-bugging, swing music and beat up jalopies. <br /><br />That's why my admiration for the Nisei is so great. I mean, put yourself in their places, Your folks in a prison camp, property taken, and being treated as an enemy alien. I would have been sulky as hell. These guys put a positive spin on it, they when into the military they gave 110 percent and earned their right to be American. <br /><br />Who could ask for more?Michael W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09400333370979393240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650979614259163889.post-64995396208731800192011-06-06T11:32:29.676-04:002011-06-06T11:32:29.676-04:00Really good post!

I was bitter about not having an internet connection for Memorial Day, so I thank you for taking up my slack.<br /><br />In regards to your post, it always amazed me at how brave the Japanese were while fighting the Marines in the Pacific. Part of the curriculum at Parris Island is to ingrain the lessons learned from that bloody campaign against an enemy that absolutely will not give up under any circumstance. It doesn't surprise me at all to hear that Japanese-Americans were so noted for their bravery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544360303504618447noreply@blogger.com
