History of the #Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit #removed from #Army #website
The history of the 442nd #RegimentalCombatTeam has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.
The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the #most #decorated #combat #unit in #history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation #JapaneseAmericans.

Has anyone here ever played or play the Android/Nisei Netrunner LCG? As an huge fan of Cyberpunk 2020/RED, I’m quite tempted to venture into this new journey. You who have played or played Netrunner, what do you think of the game?

Oregon Historical Society recently completed a digitization and translation project on papers from a Japanese-American family. It's a fascinating collection covering Japanese life in Oregon, the horror of internment, recovery, and resilience.
The linked project page connects to both the business and family papers. The translation process was complex (pre-WWII script!) and it's wonderful to see the results. Check it out!

It's about time. The 442nd is the most decorated unit in the history of the US military for its size and length of service.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1945: World War II: The segregated, all-Nisei U.S. 522nd Field Artillery Battalion stopped a death march from Dachau to the Austrian border. As a result, they saved several hundred prisoners. Ironically (and criminally), back in the states, most Nisei (Japanese-Americans) were living in concentration camps.

@economist_bot I certainly hope the changes in attitude stick after the war. My Dad was with the 442nd RCT "Go For Broke" Nisei regiment during WWII but they were largely ignored and forgotten after the war. The same goes for Black units and other marginalized groups. Here's hoping!
