Ni'ihau incident & Pearl Harbor series: 09

Hey guys. Just finished the Pearl Harbor series and I wanted to give you some feedback. I’m having a hard time understanding why the Ni’ihau incident was left out of the series and instead were referred by Indy to go look it up on our own? The reason I’ve invested years, one week at a time, with you guys is because you bring us the stories where I can trust that I’m getting the most factual/least bias version of the tales.

The places I went to sorta had their own version of the incident, all mostly the same but conflicting in detail, and ended up personally embellishing the story. I think this incident needed at least a few minutes dedicated to it during the series since it was a pivotal moment in WW2 that directly led to the policies that ultimately interned Japanese-Americans. That and it is a cool story and I really wanted to hear Indy’s version.

I agree it should be addressed, but in the context of the internment proclamations in the United States and Canada. Which is coming in a month or two, chronologically.

On topic and just for the record, a Peach Melba is an appropriate mention to look up on my own; yummy!

Thanks, fascinating story. And although I knew of the forbidden island near Kauai, I never knew it had this history :-). Wow. It kinds of make sense to use it as an alternate for pilots in trouble.
