USA really felt the threat of a main land invasion since the japs were using conquered islands strategic places for deployment...one of those if i remember correctly was Philippines. if you level with the japanese mentality and pride...IMO, they sure are going for a land invasion. it took them a few days to defeat the brits in the pacific theater. walang challenge in simple terms...the brits were expecting an attack from the shores but instead the japs took the less suspected route. the hard way, through the mountains. they made it through british defenses. sometimes na wawalan ako ng gana magbasa dito pacific theater...one of its interesting subsets yung naval operations sa pacific, and of course yung Philippine contingent(reasons why i still despise USA).
