In response to dalelaroy, actually many Japanese-Americans were allowed to "fight for their country", but only in the European theater. They were the 442nd RCT. Although they highly desired to fight in the Pacific theater, because of their racial background, were not allowed, even after the fall of the Third Reich and end of the European side of the war. Is it not interesting that 'profiling' occurs mostly towards those who can be visibly identified. German-Americans were basically left alone, despite the fact that some of them actually *were* NAZI spies and sympathizers. BYS
