Imagine my shock, anger and dismay when Japan, In April of 1942, attacked me for the sole purpose of seizing Guam and securing the only territory that I possessed within striking distance of the Home Islands. Having acheived this limited goal, she immediately sued for peace to keep her new gains. I felt much of the anger and betrayal that America must have felt on December 8th 1941 and refused to make peace.... I got to live a bit of WWII without being in the trenches.
