Blog 5

Think about the question of serving in the military. Imagine you are Japanese-American and incarcerated in one of the U.S. Internment camps during World War II. Would you volunteer to serve in the 442nd/100th? Or if you were drafted, would you serve or be a draft resister?

Being a Japanese-American during World War II, I would not have served or volunteer in the 442nd or the 100th. I would been a draft resister and not participate at all. America needs to realize that just cause we are at war with a country, it does not mean that everyone is bad. They might think we are spies, but knowing that you are not one is good enough for me. I would just wait in the camps until the war is over.
