I’m not very well versed on some aspects of our history of the states, so I will just come out and ask a question; What do we as a nation gain by having Guam as a territory? Are there minerals there? Is this under the same status as is Puerto Rico, a territory that has repeatedly rejected statehood because it’s to their fiscal advantage?
My guess is we acquired this property during WW2 as it gave us a tactical advantage to fight our wars with Japan and later with Korea. Do the Guamanians see themselves as Americans?
There are some major military installations there, beyond that, I don’t know.
Guam is more or less American.
Guamanians serve in the US Army, or did when we were stationed overseas.
