https://www.businessinsider.com/years-after-fight-for-attu-aleutians-regain-us-military-focus-2022-6In May 1943, US soldiers launched a brutal fight to retake the islands of Attu and Kiska from the Japanese. The remote islands, part of Alaska's Aleutian chain, were an important for operations in the Pacific. Now, with the US focusing more on the Pacific and the Arctic, Alaska has renewed military importance.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

nice to have another reminder and hopefully the Liberals in Washington understand Alaska needs a build up of our military in Alaska.
