I think you should study your WW2 history to see what other countries did during this era. I suspect the Okinawans, many Chinese, and a whole ton of Russians would gladly switch places with interned Japanese Americans. That's not even getting into Europe.

For that matter, look how the Japanese suffered during the war, largely due to choices by their own government. Getting stuck in a camp with a school, where the guards left you alone, where you could buy goods from outside is far better than any of that, and much better than being drafted.

Goodreads is famously political. Did you play their political game or avoid it somehow?

Yes, but to hold such a grudge against one government when worse things happen elsewhere doesn't make much sense to me. They could have fled to neutral places like Brazil, but I don't see much reason to think they would have been treated better. Certainly not better enough to make the transition worthwhile.

"Not enough hugs" -- do you think you made the same mistake with your daughter that your mother made with you?
