McArthur: "Dividing our troops will decrease allied strenght" US economy, man power and people intact thanks to the atlantic building everything for the war: "Pretty sure it doesn't"
Between a small island near the Sino-Japanese front that might be counterattacked or a Island with a lot of support from the Guerilla Fighters and is as near as Formosa to Japan?
choosing Philippines have bonus aid from Filipinos guerrillas. Compare to Formosa which is heavily fortified by the Japanese, it was there colony since 1895 so Japanese already developed many defense infrastructures for the WW2 preperation.
As far as the more heavily defended islands that the Americans passed by, were there any serious cases of those garrisons trying to somehow counter attack or break out, thus risking the Americans to be assaulted from the rear?
