The japanese re start their attack on new guinea right around the same time admiral fletcher is trying to get his aircraft carriers out of guato canal. Part of the reason the japanese don't respond as well as maybe they could to this american attack at guata canal is their eyes are about 700 miles away on port mosby, where they're launching an offensive. It's a fascinating part of the human condition. Is it a political thing? A cultural thing? Human thing? But you see it again when the Japans move up from new guinea. They start committing the same kind of atrocities that have become a trade mark of theirs in this war
