I disagree. What Democrats demand the military to do is clearly treason, listening to their orders by the soldiers are treasonous acts, period.
The real picture is worse. The top military commanders are traitors, they actively assisting Democrats in destroying the nation. They don’t just “obey orders”.
It’s true for the country up to the end of the Cold War. But I am not sure about the US infantry of today. The role played by the National Guards in Washington, DC makes me very suspicious of whom they serve. The evidence of their actions indicates that the US military forces now serve the treasonous Democratic Party, not the nation, not to defend the Constitution.
Hi Yang, I am a veteran and from a family of veterans. I think most of the rank and file military will immediately execute the order their military superior orders them to do because a) that gets drilled in to you nearly every day when in, b) most are young men in their teens and early twenties and not very political, c) disobeying orders has severe consequences.
I realize all your explanations but it’s very disturbing. The seriousness of certain actions (like treason or killing innocent Americans) should alert most military officers (at the company and lower levels) not to blindly follow the orders. Unless the military forces are composed of just a bunch of losers and idiots whose only concern is their own status. (I don’t believe that’s the case.)
Hi Yang, I think if you research the incidence of treason and traitors in Western Military History you will exceptionally few occurrences given how many hundreds of millions of interactions in that context occurred. Our military rank and file are honorable and they have strict discipline to follow orders immediately. Perhaps if an event drags on for weeks they would reconsider options. But far and away the MO is to follow orders and not ask questions. And “drill” makes their actions like an instinct.
Washington is essentially clueless about what makes the USA great. They think the greatness emanates from DC. It does not. It never has. It never will.
Fighting communists is indeed a noble cause. Just this last month I spoke with two Vietnam War vets. When asked about their service, I was surprised to hear that both were proud to have fought against communism. Our so-called elites have denigrated the war (it was certainly poorly managed, to say the least), but the cause was righteous, imo.
"One of my biggest worries is what would happen to Chinese-Americans like me and my family if the US goes to war with the CCP. Many of us believe in the same ideals as Hershey. We would serve the same way that he did. However, we all know as you do that the CCP has infiltrated many parts of the country due to our incompetent government. From 10% for the Big Guy to Diane Feinstein’s driver to Eric Swalwell’s Fang Fang honeypot, many are already compromised. CCP sabotage would trigger chaos and collective punishment. During World War II, there were only 150,000 ethnic Japanese in America. Today, there are over 5 million ethnic Chinese in America."
True that.
Fortunately, Epoch Times staff and so many other Chinese Americans are working to continue the American Dream.
My gut reaction is that your family and most Chinese and the other Asian Americans won’t have to worry as much about this since the war excused discrimination against the Nisei did happen and that history came to leave a bad taste in the mouths of many Americans as time went on.
I do have to wonder though why it was deemed necessary to classify his receipt of the Medal of Honor? That action has the stink of democrat racism on it. Truman continuing in the tradition of Roosevelt and democRATs then and now perhaps?

It's difficult to have to explain this to someone who is honoring CMOH heroism, but it is necessary. It is never "won." It is awarded. The terminology is meaningful to recipients and armed services. It's a linguistic distinction that matters.
"Winning" is sometimes used by the well-intentioned, sometimes even officials themselves. Officials who've never served. Honor is what the armed services holds dear. A CMOH is awarded as a solemn recognition. The horrors it *always* comes with aren't wished on or wished for by anyone. Most are awarded posthumously. Which isn't "winning" under any understanding of the word.
Thank you for sharing the story of his heroic actions. Unique bravery. Fitting recognition. When freedom is on the line may many be as brave.
"it is more important than ever forge bonds of transcendent shared values like patriotism and honor against the anarchy of subversion and identarianism."
Well said Tovarisch! Stuff like this could possibly drag me out of my black-pilled state.
Mainly I have been traveling the country enjoying my retirement. Bird hunting in Maine, Pennsylvania, and a couple of other places. A whole lot of driving, but I am enjoying my German Shorthaired Pointer immensely.
Moving article. Hope to God it doesn’t come to conflict with CCP and hope a democrat President isn’t in the WH to inter Chinese American citizens. Shame on FDR, hero of the Left.
It was our governor, Earl Warren, who signed the order imprisoning Japanese-Americans. Roosevelt's executive order merely placed them under military supervision. A great disgrace and shame for our nation.
May God forever bless Hershey Miyamura and his family - and you too for bringing us this outstanding story.
from a grateful cold warrior.
You have proved that infantry do not fight for politicians. They fight for each other.
Always has been, always will be.
They will not fight for “Globohomo”. That’s coming to an end.
Politicians, for ill or good reasons, put you in situations where you have fight for each other.
Politicians taking advantage of a soldiers patriotism is the greatest crime.

Ya I said that!
"Politicians taking advantage of a soldiers patriotism is the greatest crime."
You used the wrong term. It’s NOT patriotism, but chauvinism. Their difference is like night and day, yet you don’t seem to get it.
Self Deport!
Hi Yang, I too am disgusted with much of the very top military leadership and especially the Commander in Chief.
It’s true for the country up to the end of the Cold War. But I am not sure about the US infantry of today. The role played by the National Guards in Washington, DC makes me very suspicious of whom they serve. The evidence of their actions indicates that the US military forces now serve the treasonous Democratic Party, not the nation, not to defend the Constitution.
Correct me if I am wrong.

There must be something else I don’t understand.

Good essay. Japanese Audie Murphy.

Keep up the good work Yuri. USAF Active 1986-1998, Reserve 1999-2006. Thank you.
Thank YOU for your service, Bill!

Wow!
This men makes John Wick look weak.
Salute our legends!
The motto of the 442nd was “Go for broke.” There’s a lot of weight in those words.
Powerful. Good reminder for all of us. Thanks for sharing.
It became one of my favorite war movies when I was a kid and was the first time I learned that the Nisei Japanese Americans actually fought in WWII.
The actions against veterans in this country are shameful. And usually dealt by the left.
What an incredible man. Thank you for sharing his story with us.

Yuri,
Could you do an essay on Old Hundred Names-lao baixing? A lot to learn there for your audience.
My respect to a fine American.
