Good point. Fact of the matter is that war plans are usually based exclusively on military considerations. In warfare, military considerations count for jack shit next to political considerations. And political reality would demand that the US Pacific Fleet sail to rescue the Americans fighting in the Philippines.
Indeed. I know the rainbow plans by the late 30s figured that the Phil were as good as lost. Though, with political considerations, they'd prolly have to dust off those plans, and lead a relief force across the Pacific. WOuld be a great TL
