Fundamentally, the charges brought against Tokyo Rose by the US government were racially motivated. The charge, "she demoralized US troops" refers to a recurrent theme she returned to - the US military was [[segregate]]d, and white troops did all the fighting from 1942-45. The point of Rose's broadcasts, interspersed with American music, was to say, while US troops were enduring hardship and death, their girlfriends back home where dating black men.
