I once spoke to an American high school history teacher who stoutly and vocally denied that the US ever had or could possibly have had a colony.
Ah... Ah... Ah.... WRONG!

There were a lot of problems. In many cases good-faith efforts were made, but the lists were juggled terribly, often by local politicians out to get their own people benefits they didn't deserve. >/i>
Ah, yes, Filipino politicos. I know a number of Filipinos here in the US. They aren't too fond of them and are glad they no longer have deal with them.

Tons of skullduggery on all sides. Fake guerilla groups were invented, real ones were knocked off the rolls because they were believed to lean left. A lot of deserving people got screwed, and a lot of undeserving ones did real well. Not such an uncommon story, I guess.
Hadn't heard that part of the story. I have met some who claimed to have fought for the US in WW2 and got screwed.
