My fiance and I are going to see the new Spider Man movie this weekend. She wants to see it in 3D. How cool is that? Only took her 5 years and the Dark Knight move to get her to warm up to super hero movies.

Yep. One of the least-publicized campaigns of WW2, mainly due to the major FUBAR in retaking the two islands, and the morale blow that would have shaken the US had the populace at large known that their sacred soil had actually been invaded. Nevermind that most would not have known where the Aleutians were. There would have been a great outcry for the Army/Navy to station more troops stateside for "security", thus depriving the actual war effort of those much-needed men and materiel. So it was sorta hushed up. Maj. Thomas McGuire (Air Force base in New Jersey is named after him) flew P38's up there before being shipped out to the Pacific.

Yeah, its Wiki, but its a starting point: Aleutian Islands Campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

Oh I knew that! I was talking about this:

"Town called Alice was on TV.... Had no idea the Japanese occupied part of Australia, and took prisoners. "
 
I got into the movie late...... mistook Aussies being rounded up as being on Aussie soil. The main characters rejoined in Alice after the war. My mistake, please forgive me, I am old! BUt thanks for clearing this up and setting me straight.
