Strange Famous,
That last bit is factually untrue. In his diariest, Admiral Hirohito Yamomoto discusses at great length his decision -not- to invade the Western US, over the loud objections of his fellow officers, who were pushing for a an invasion of California and Oregon as a follow-up to the victories at the Phillipines and Wake Island. Yamomoto disagreed, saying that "we should have to fight for every inch of ground and every blade of grass. Every door would have greeted our soldiers with a gun."
