What would you do if your loyalty to your country was questioned? Matthew and Jonnie are joined by guests Andie Kimura, with Go for Broke National Education Center, and Bethany Narita, Jonnie’s sister, to discuss the infamous loyalty questionnaire and how it affected our families.Some volunteered to fight in the army, some answered “No,No”, others were draft resistors, and still others found themselves stuck in the middle. This episode looks at how the army asked for loyalty after it put our families in concentration camp, and how that created a divide between friends and families that remains to this day.
