[QUOTE="SdoubleA, post: 3142838, member: 32961"] Yellow Peril is the common term or expression from the time. There are also a few good reads of the camps and subsequent vetting process available. The camps in reference were an early on response to the attack of Pearl Harbor. Please understand the American mindset at the onset as being one of fear based upon not knowing wherein the sympathies were. Plus the simple fact America was caught off guard and unprepared on many fronts. At that point in time, we did not know and understand the enemy until later on. As I originally said, "for the most part" referring to when we knew. Granted, there were Japanese spies at home and abroad, but for the most part....The Imperial Japanese military were in uniform, thereby distinguishable to a greater degree. In Nam, charlie could hide in plain sight. I could expound on that, but this thread is pertaining to Japan. [/QUOTE]
