Who knew which of the resident Japanese wouldn't pass information or coordinate a population attack? It's real easy for you, in hindsight, to know there were no attacks on this country, but the people then certainly didn't know

The Japanese managed to seize two Aleutian Islands early in the war. If the Japanese had managed to install an airstrip from which to refuel planes, all it would have taken to enable jap bomber access to much of the West Coast would be to have a Jap agent in the Northwest show up with a truck full of fuel on an isolated road that could be used on a landing strip.

I don't understand these people out here. Sometimes I think it would actually be a good thing to have a war on American soil.
