Today's history lesson that should be in schools: Not all Japanese were the "bad guys" during World War II.

The 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team were composed of Japanese-Americans, many of whom volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army even after being forcibly relocated to internment camps and went on to serv with distinction in Europe fighting against Nazi forces. Go For Broke National Education Center has a lot more information. "Go for broke" is also the name of a 1951 film detailing their exploits.
