Yes it does. However, there is a slight problem with our history as it evolves over time. In the beginning, the end of WWII until the 1960's, when WWII veterans were in their 40's, 50's, and 60's (instead of their 80's & 90's today), the "Pacific Theater", meant just that, "The Pacific Theater". With the passing of the WWII generation, as noted by the aging data described above; This newer "un-blooded generation" of young people has taken the title of "Pacific Theater", and has begun to use that title as meaning, the "War against Japan" (which leaves out the CBI theater-China, Burma, India, & leaves out the Chinese fighting, which involved the building of the B-29 Superfortress airfields, GEN Claire Chennault-of "Flying Tigers" fame, etc). It is true, however, that there was a contest for the Pacific Ocean...a Pacific War, but it could become more "distorted" by our new crop of historians, as time passes on. In a disturbing way, the US has paralleled the former USSR: The Soviet Union did NOT call WWII, World War 2. The Soviets called WWII, the "Great Patriotic War." The US uses the "white star" as it's insignia, and the Soviets, the "red star", both the Soviets and the United States, had a title beginning with the first two letters of "US(SR). So it was disturbing that we might be copying the Soviets with our "(GREAT) Pacific War" which complemented their, "Great Patriotic War." If the US was adapting a communist nation's patterns, what other communist "ways" will we be adapting? IMITATION is the greatest form of FLATTERY!
