Did the writer ever hear of guadalcanal? Geez, basic WW2 History 101. Get it right.
This is why we rarely agree on what really took place, when, how, and why. The scary thing is what is in today's "history" books in schools. So many things written in these classroom books about our nation's past are twisted, innacurate - or just blatent lies - and usually portray any American military action in a dark light. Try to tell today's youth the truth about something you remember clearly about WWII, the Korean war or Viet Nam...and they will argue the point because what they are learing in school is so opposite, at least when it comes to anything related to national defense.
How kids are being brainwashed by the liberals (who control education) in America to hate US agressive actions (based on emotionally charged writings geared to instill guilt, not patritosm and rather than present facts), is in some aspects, just like the children in the mid-East being spoonfed hatred of our culture in the clutch of Al Queda/terrorist leaders.
