Literary Historian Response #3

In any of the internment camps anyone seventeen and older had to complete a questionnaire it was not that bad except for questions 27 and 28. Question 27 was, are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered? And question 28 was Will you swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any and all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance to the Japanese Emperor or any other foreign government, power, or organization. Some of the people who were in Tule Lake and answered Yes-Yes were put into different internment camps, that was because Tule Lake became a high security camp were they put the people who answered No-No.
