No, but simply letting the Japanese garrisons on
No, but simply letting the Japanese garrisons in the Aleutians grow old, unloved, and hungry rather than mounting divisional- (LANDCRAB) and corps-level (COTTAGE) combined operations to oust them - while maintaining garrisons in Alaska proper that totalled more than 100,000 soldiers alone (notwithstanding the USN & USCG) would have made more sense.
Best,
So after Attu and Kiska were occupied, the best American Strategy would have been completely evacuating Alaska and letting the Japanese have it? Awesome!
