These people are Americans and should be considered American citizens. They are in our armed services and I am proud to recognize them as US Citizens!

[@ameripenguin]

They received US citizenship when they joined the US Army Reserve. All other local-born residents of American Samoa have American nationality, but not citizenship.

They should NOT get citizenship or land will be taken away from them.

[@Monkeywrench542]

@@ameripenguin It sucks that the people of American Samoa are not considered Citizens because of some antiquated racist law made in the 1940's, but at least the children born from the soldiers of this Battalion will be US citizens.

Is this the same unit that won the accolade of the most decorated small unit in the U.S. Army? If so, the original unit was composed of mostly Japanese-Americans from Hawaii. What a contrast to the way the mainland Japanese were treated..One of the distinguished alumni of the 442 was Senator Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii. He was also a holder of the Medal of Honor.

[@iwannadie9665]

@@c3aloha you forgot Saipan and I don’t remember the 442nd being in the National Guard

[@dkoz8321]

As an officer. If you find yourself in a situtation of probematic enlisted personell, gorget yourself some American Samoan NCO's (sr E-6 and E-7). Make them squad leads and plt. sergeants, acting tops for E-7. In quick order enlisted personell issues go away.

[@boomdos4265]

This is what makes the National Guard unique vs. say the Active Army and all other active and reserve branches. The National Guard is regional by nature and what happens is you get these strong homogenous groups with strong cultures taking it to wherever in the world they are called. It tells you the extent of the United States empire. Just kinda wish the US had something like a British military tattoo...where you have military units parading in traditional garb singing their own tunes and dance ala: Scottish Highlanders, Fijian Military band, Ghurka brigades etc.

[@808INFantry11X]

Boom Dos these guys are reservists in Charlie company 100/442nd infantry battalion the only infantry reserve unit in the USAR.

[@boomdos4265]

80811B Ahh I stand corrected. Still though, there's something a bit more interesting about Reserve units like these vs their Active counterparts. BTW I thought the only Infantry unit in the Army Reserve was in Hawaii.

[@808INFantry11X]

Boom Dos they are head quartered out of Hawaii but we have companies in American Samoa Guam and Saipan altogether from the 100/442nd infantry me personally was a member of Delta Co. Based out FT. Shafter HI

[@boomdos4265]

Ok that explains it....wait 442nd? is this THE same 442nd, the Japanese regiment?

[@kelvinktfong]

The original 100th battalion was a Hawaii national guard unit. It was federalized and sent to North Africa and the Italy. The rest of the 442nd was raised from the from volunteers from Hawaii, the internment camps and from Japanese communities not affected by the internment order. The 442nd RCT was reunited in Italy and they later campaigned in France.
