THE REBEL FLAG

[Midwest Spy]

I'm still not sure, given all the atrocities committed under the US flag, why there isn't a movement to take it down. The internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

On December 7, 1941, shortly after completing his bombing run at Pearl Harbor, a Japanese pilot with a badly damaged Zero crash landed on the island of Nihau, just west of Kauai.

He was apprehended by island natives, but shortly thereafter, 2 Japanese natives on the island came to his aid, sprung him from jail and threatened the rest of the islands inhabitants with weapons and took a couple of them hostage.

The native population was ultimately victorious in this minor skirmish, but the point was noted:

Japanese living on U.S. soil had shown that they would aid and abet the Japanese cause.

While not fair to the majority it certainly was understandable why the U.S. took the action it did.
