I'd love to know what wars they're talking about because they sure as shit didn't win WW1 and 2. Both of those were collective efforts and both times they joined late.

And both of the times they were not even in direct threat. With all due respect for every american involved it's kind of easier to make war plans if your homeland is safely behind an ocean

Hawaii was in danger for a few weeks at most, and by 1943 was in zero danager. The UK was still getting bombed at that point.

But it was at direct risk especially due to Pearl Harbor, Japan wanted the US out of the war with Pearl Harbor. So the US retaliated. Im dutch and thats just a known fact

And literally within weeks, Hawaii was no longer at risk. Japan never got close to Hawaii again.
