The "Jap-Ams"? Pardon me, your unwashed slip is showing.
Jap-Am, short for "Japanese-Americans". I don't know about you, but

don't like typing any more than I have to, and I use abbreviations
when I can.
When we took these "threats to national security" off to prison
camps
Correction, they were NOT prison camps.
Idiot. People were taken to these places and not allowed to leave.
That's
a
prison no matter how you look at it.
Name-calling already? Usually that signifies loss of argument. [Well,
I can't think of anything else, so I'll call you a name and pretend
I've won.]
Any thoughts on Dave's theory that Japanese citizens were held in a place
that wasn't really a prison?
It was an internment camp. They were not there as a result of any real
"crime". While you see no difference in the conditions, they were not
the same thing.

You are out of your mind. They were not permitted to leave. Even if the sign
out front didn't say "prison" or "correctional facility", it was a prison.
