He walked on to Guadalcanal on 8/7/1942, stated x 6+ weeks, & was evac'd only when taken down by Dengue Fever & Combat Fatigue, from lack of sleep. It took 2 full years to get Dad back home to Denver. He was awarded The Navy Cross, & The Purple Heart. My Dad, was the best man I ever knew, & I miss him every single day.; -----------MJL, 77 y/o

    Although I was born in 1947 one of the few issues my family would speak of was the outrage the American people felt after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. I was not aware that Japan also attacked Clark field and other American Assets in the pacific theatre. Five of my uncles enlisted right after these attacks. My father worked at a Steel plant in upstate NY and did not have to go on active duty, he was an enlisted Reserve because he was helping make war materials when the war started. My mother worked in a sewing factory during the war sewing uniforms It was truly a world war. Everyone picked in.

    There are many inaccuracies in this video. McArthur did not fly out when he left the Philippines, he left on a PT boat. To say there was nothing he could do is inaccurate, he did everything wrong. The way he tried to defend the Philippines was neglectful and maybe criminal. He disobeyed every prewar plan that was in place.

    My Uncle Dalton was there for almost the entire journey. In early 1942, he was a U.S. Army Master Sergeant command an anti aircraft artillery battery on the island of Corregidor. When the Rock surrendered, he was made a prisoner of war. He was forced into the Batman Death March. Many Americans and Philippines died of starvation dehydration and exhaustion during the march. Then he was put in a containmentt camp where many more died. Then he was put into a He'll Ship for transport to Japan. Many more died of heat stroke, dehydration and dysentery. When they arrived in japan, they were forced to march through the streets of Nagasaki while civilians and military beat and poked at them with sticks. At the outskirts of the city they we forced to work as slave labor in coal mines with little food, water and no medical trestment. He was in the mine when Boxcar dropped the Plutonium bomb. He weighed barely 80 lbs when rescued by American troops. IRONY * While Uncle Dalton was a prisoner, two other uncles were working at Oakridge, Tennessee enriching uranium for the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. My Aunt Maggie was a Navy nurse in the Pacific on a hospital ship. She was wounded when the red cross marked ship was strafed and bombed by Japanese planes. My cousin was an infantryman fighting Japanese on the Aleutian islands. While bullet entire his fatigues he was not wounded. But, he did suffer from n frost bite as a result of having only summer clotying. My father was in the OSS in Europe and parachuted into Normandy before June 6. He traveled from France to Holland to Belgium (including Bastogne) and then on into Germany. I last saw my Uncle Dalton in 1967, after graduating from Fort Poll's Tiger land AIT (Infantry, RVN Oriented). He was still suffering from his bad treatment by the Japanese.

    The Guadalcanal Campaign was not led by McArthur. He struck a deal with Admiral King to let the Marines land at Guadalcanal. Also, the Japanese were not waiting for the Americans. They only had a small construction crew there building the airfield. The Japanese reenforced the island a few days after they realized the attack on Guadalcanal was THE Allied main attack.

    Warning. Do not cite this material as fact. Example: There was NO pre-invasion shelling of Guadalcanal. The first shells to land were on August 7, day of invasion. MacArthur was not Supreme Commander. Rather, he was in charge of the Army and the southern and western Pacific. Nimitz was in charge of the central theater. But there are lots of facts, so just enjoy.

    Command of the Guadalcanal campaign was disputed but ultimately cammand was given to Admiral Nimitz and the Navy, not McCarther. Admiral Fletcher commanded the overall expaditionary force while Admiral Turner commanded amphibius forces with Vandergrift leading the 16k ground troops. Yall should fix that, especially considering most Marines cant stand McCarther. The only time we've had to surrender was because he surrendered us then abandoned us.

    MacArthur was despised by almost all the troops under him, but he was the One who devised the island hopping Campaign in the Pacific theatre. It's true he was a prima Donna and over Estimated the defenses of the Philippines, but at that point in time, The IJA was a juggernaut that steamrolled everything in front of it. But as the fighting intensified, and their losses mounted, they couldn't Sustain their offensive attacks. Amd add in the manpower and materiel Production advantages we had it was only a matter of time till they were forced to capitulate ending the war in the Pacific and bringing the war to a close.

For this reason, the two German tests are why Oppenheimer called his test Trinity, since it was the third of humanity...In 1947 in an interview With several US journalists, they asked him why he didn't test it before throwing it at Little Boy, Oppenheimer replied: "...there was nothing to test, the Germans had already tested it, they just had to throw it..." Oppenheimer always did display of his intellectual honesty.

    But we couldn't afford a General's Court Martial at that point, so Roosevelt decided to Award him the M.O.H., in order to silence his detractors, both in the Military and in The Congress. Bc Roosevelt knew that MacArthur was the best General officer to lead our campaign to win the War on land. And he did, by coming up with the island hopping campaign, Whereas the Navy, and by extension, Admiral King, wanted to attack every Island occupied by the Japanese. MacArthur won over Roosevelt and the Pacific theatre was split into 2 commands, the Central Pacific under MacArthur, And the Southwest Pacific Under the command of Admiral King. And it worked like a swiss watch

    Propaganda, but NOT History, has led us to believe that the Empire of Japan began its territorial expansion in the 1930’s, invading China, creating the puppet State of Manchukuo and “Provoking” the war with the Western Powers. But, Was this really, how events happened? Did Japan invade China and South East Asia? It seems so. However, the Propaganda does NOT say that for centuries, all Asia was invaded by Western Powers. England occupied India, Burma (Myanmar); Borneo, Sumatra, Singapore, Malaysia and China (Hong Kong, Nanking, Shanghai, etc). France dominated all Indochina. The Netherlands intervened by the Force of its Arms, to all of Indonesia. And Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and of course, also the United States were in South East Asia cuz, for example this country, the US, occupied the Philippines since 1898. (Spanish-American War). Thus the panorama in the 30's, the Empire of Japan, when defeating to the Tsarist Russian Empire, it also decided to "Grow" by invading its neighbors. In those years, all European nations had colonies in Africa, India, the Middle East, Australia, Asia and America. (England came to occupy almost ¼ part of the planet). For its part, the US, in 113 years of existence as a nation in those years, had "Grown" 711 the size of its territory from its original 13 colonies. Now is the picture clear? Japan for its part, had fought on the side of the winners in World War I (1914-1918), and they, the Japanese, not awarded any "Gain". The western victors of WWI divided the world. Japan was excluded. Thus, Japan's motives for attacking and expanding as the Europeans and the US did seem clearer, right? Then they, the Japanese, attacked China in 1931, which was occupied by 6 Western Powers for almost a century. None of the Western Powers occupying China at this time, OPPOSED or fought Japan for Invading China. NONE! Then, 11 years later after having occupied the territory of China and coexisted without any problem with the Western Powers within China, they, the Japanese, attacked Hawaii, which in turn, this Island had been occupied and annexed by the US in 1898. (In 1900-01, Hawaii became US territory and Hawaii ceased to be an independent nation after more than 630 years of sovereignty. By the time Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had just completed the 40th anniversary of the military occupation and annexation of Hawaii). They, the Japanese, attacked Singapore, which was then a Colony of England. They, the Japanese, attacked the Philippines, which were occupied by the US and whose Gov’r, Douglas MacArthur reined as Emperor. Yup… Truly like an Absolute Autocrat. Therefore, the Japanese did NOT attack (In the 40’s), Singapore, Burma, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Timor, the Philippines, etc. In reality, the Japanese attacked England, France, Holland, the US, the UK, etc. That is, the Japanese attacked the Western Powers invading all of Asia. That is the verifiable truth. The Empire of Japan didn’t invade. Japan fought against the Invaders. But, Propaganda has made us believe that the good guys were us, the US. And of course… Nanking was a horrendous Genocide committed by Japan, but, it was no more horrendous than the 12 Genocides committed by the United States in his History and all over the world. Nor was it less horrendous than the Genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium, in Central Africa. Nor was Nanking more or less horrendous than the Genocides that the British Empire committed in America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, India and also in China too. In the Philippines (1898-1902), the US Army produced a Genocide of One Million people dead. ONE MILLION. And now, the Japanese are our friends and allies... Yup… But, to fight against China, AGAIN!!! Well… No More. No More British Malaya nor British Borneo nor British wherever. No More French Indochina. No more Dutch Indies. No More Portugese Domains. No More US Domain here. Asia is for Asians and “The China Sea” belongs to CHINA. Westerns powers have nothing to do in Asia. NOTHING!!!
