George Takei

George Takei was in the Japanese internment camps in the American West. In them were also people of Japanese descent who were taken out of 17 other countries. America, under Ronald Reagan finally recompensed the Japanese-Americans about $25,000 for the injustice that was admitted to being "racism". The others, many apparently kept in Texas, have not been recompensed. Many young people were in the camps and one of the current President's men was in them he relates. One of the highest decorated units in WWII were Japanese-Americans in Italy, nisei, my dad who served there called them which is title about which generation of immigrant one belongs to. They weren't allowed to own property in California. In the "Battle of the Bulge" (a monument just opened in Ontario, New York outside Syracuse, NY) one particular "nisei" unit lost over 900 men rescuing 500 "lost Texans" that decision still argued over in military strategy. Isn't everyone who's been associated with "the final frontier" homosexual, "back to feeling their old self again?" I think George Takei of an American asset and whatever spin we project more of the same stupidity that gets us into wars.
