Japanese Internment during WWII

Of course it's a shameful episode.


Yet, I've found out that it was in part a response to an urgent request from MacArthur; he was purturbed by the atrocities being committed by the Japanese Army in Asia.  In fact the Japanese brutality was well known throughout all those years. Nanjing massacre anyone?  The dreaded 731 unit? 'Comfort Women'?  For sure it was a hysteria, the internment, but considering the savage reputation of the Samurai war-race..you get the gist.
