On the other hand, with the exception of the CIB theater, the US did 99% of the fighting against Japan.

Pick up a copy of Max Hastings’ new book, “Retribution,” on this theater of the war. Hastings is a British historian and has some surprising things to says about the Allies, most remarkably the Australians. One of his take-away points was the Brits, French, Belgians and Dutch fully expected to have their holdings in Africa and Asia “returned” to them at the war’s conclusion. The Americans had no such understanding and this difference in outlook created much suspicion and mistrust.

Now it looks like we are going to manage to tick off the Australians too. Well done!!

BTW, the CIB theater (the C stands for China) is where most of the Japanese Army was.
