Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi was the only realist because he knew Pearl Harbor would lead to Japan's defeat.

His time spent graduating from Princeton taught him that.

So which ones supported establishing the Japanese camps in Alaska. ? Was it actually a defensive move trying to leverage peace talks by realists ?, or perhaps a prerequisite to another Presidential authorized aggression ?

In June 1942, six months after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that drew the U.S. into World War II, the Japanese targeted the Aleutians, an American-owned chain of remote, sparsely inhabited, volcanic islands extending some 1,200 miles west of the Alaskan Peninsula. After reaching the Aleutians, the Japanese conducted air strikes on Dutch Harbor, site of two American military bases, on June 3 and June 4. The Japanese then made landfall at Kiska Island on June 6 and Attu Island, approximately 200 miles away, on June 7. Japanese troops quickly established garrisons, or military bases, on both islands, which had belonged to the U.S. since it purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867.
