Ohh sorry, he returned it to the family. He said they were definitely not well off and it was the family’s prized possession.Interesting. What happened with the sword?

To wit:Concerning your comment about pikes as a legitimate weapon. Yes, they certainly can be. Have you not engaged in house to house fighting? You know, where you kick a door open and enter an unfamiliar, often darkened room not knowing what’s waiting for you? An old woman swinging a pike or anything heavy at your head is damn sure dangerous. I didn’t see anything hilarious about the mention of pikes as a weapon at all. No one said it was ideal, or even decent, but when you face a determined enemy, anything they can leverage against you is a legitimate weapon. Oh sure, a pike isn’t exactly a threat to a tank, or a battleship, or an airplane, but I would consider it dangerous against an individual. Why get nasty with the member over this? It’s just a fact; the Japanese weren’t exactly big on surrender you might remember.

That seems to absolutely eliminate any justification for the mass internment, then.For the most part, the Japanese enemy was easy to distinguish from non combatants. In Viet Nam, one could never trust anyone but your brothers.

I've not heard that term (well, I have, but as a nickname for the Stearman biplane), but to the mass internment of Japanese-descended American Citizens, as ratified by the Korematsu case; if that's a nickname for it, then yes.Are you in reference to the "Yellow Peril" camps?
