Actually this is not true. Besides the mention of the balloon bombs that actually did reach the west coast, but were squashed in the media to make the Japanese think they were a failure, Japanese forces did invade the Aleutian Islands of Kiska and Attu in 1942 and took native Alaskans prisoner to work in Hokkaido prisoner camps.

You seem to have this impression that the Japanese were angels and the Americans were devils in the War in the Pacific. We all know neither is 100% true. Let's agree that War is Hell, and there is little we are going to do here to change that or change history (unless you count getting your facts wrong).

*EDIT* And I will ask again that the Atomic Bombing talk be squashed. That is OT for this thread.
