I mean... it was a time, when even the americans used concentration camps in US to lock up the japanese, and people didn't mind. The war lasted long enough, that the propaganda machine did it's job and noone (inside usa, and many other countries) really cared about 'a few' japanese lives, even if "a few" means tens of thousands... some even rooted for more.

- paulryanrogers 4y agoPlenty of people minded in the US, including the first lady. And in modern times it's considered a shameful black mark on FDR's presidency.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoIn modern times also plenty of people mind plenty of war related things, but not enough people mind enough to actually stop US messing all around the middle east, south america, africa, etc. Even "before modern times", there was a lot of anti-vietnam-war sentiment, and the war still lasted a long time... even the afghanistan war lasted 20 years, a few people mind, and others wave the flags and use buzzwords like "fighting for freedom" or worse.
