Even the Japanese on 12/7/41 had boots on the ground.
Quite a few permanently in the ground.
Native Hawaiians defend their homeland— honored to this day by true Hawaiians who are proud Americans.
The Niihau Incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau_Incident
A jap pilot in the attack crash landed on the private island Niihau.
Quote:”Ben Kanahele then picked Nishikaichi up in the same manner that he picked up the sheep that were commercially raised on the island, hurling Nishikaichi into a stone wall. Ella Kanahele then bashed him in the head with a rock, and Ben slit his throat with his hunting knife. Harada then turned the shotgun on himself, committing suicide.”
