"The high regard and respect that other US soldiers held for the 442nd Regiment was related to me by a 442nd Regiment veteran who had jointed up with the unit as a replacement just prior to the end of the war. He told me that wherever they went, they were received very warmly by other US troops." 

Still incorrect, especially for those of the U.S. Navy (Pearl Harbor), that definitely hated the "Japs" of the 442nd RCT and the 100th Battalion.  During UH Reserve Officer's Training Corp, 100th Battalion Patch, U.S. Citizens of Asian Ancestry ("All Orientals Look the Same") going on any U.S. Military Base at Hawaii or Mainland was asking for a Racist Comment (like "Remember Pearl Harbor F___king Japs", Washington State, Fort Lewis, Haole Colonel, Georgia, Fort Benning, Instructor E-8 ).  During the Demonrats Save the Democracy of South Vietnam, the comment was you look like a G00k, sorry if we shot at you.
