<div><strong>Your statement is just plain *racist* against Alaskan natives and insulting to those serving their nations in the military. Alaska became the 49th state of the United States of America in 1959 (just in case you weren't aware...) and is definitely a modern society.</strong> </div>

<div><strong>The Japanese are obviously strong U.S. allies now, but during WWII that was a totally different story. The Native Alaskan arctic warfare units were kept around to do search and rescue, defend against Soviet aggression (when there was a Soviet Union), and to be possibly used in foreign peacekeeping deployments set in very cold climes.</strong></div>
