We didn't invade Vietnam. Wanna try again?
We took over for the French because they wouldn't do what we wanted them to do. Like with Iraq, we used what was a lie to get ourselves involved. We sent troops in and fought a needless war.
What the **** are you even talking about, dude?
History. US kidnapping foriegn citizens:
It is a little-known, dark chapter in U.S. history. During World War II, the Roosevelt administration ordered the detention of more than 2,200 people of Japanese ancestry from 13 Latin American countries, the overwhelming majority from Peru.
Although no official explanation for the internment was ever offered, historians believe the Japanese Latin Americans were abducted for reasons similar to the much larger detention of Japanese Americans on the West Coast of the United States: They were believed to pose a military threat to the United States and its Pacific allies.
