Everyone was very afraid of the Japanese back then

Fear is a huge part of all war and exists at all levels of participation.

I did think about the Japanese camps when I mentioned Indians as an example of American concentration camps.
The key difference in the 2 is we slaughtered American Indians. We incarcerated the American Japanese.

Even bio-warfare was used against indians. During the French-Indian wars Small pox infected blankets were handed out to indians in encampments as well as those incarcerated. The fatality rate was 50%.
Distribution to American Indians of Smallpox infected blankets by the British is well documented.

If I recall correctly, Smallpox vaccination was halted in the US in the early 1970s. That means most Americans are vulnerable to such an attack today.
