We know the story.  It's virtually the only WWII episode 
contemporary news media are interested in playing up....

And 1/3 of those interned were not US citizens, but bona fide 
enemy aliens.

My father commanded a unit of amphibious tractors/troop carriers at 
Saipan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc...  Funny how local authorities aren't
falling all over themselves to play up his sacrifices, or those of 
the other 11 million who served in the US armed forces.
