Netflix has the Frank Capra "Report From The Aleutians" short, showing what those guys went thru. As miserable as they were they were safer than being posted to the Solomons or N Africa. What it doesn't show is that the Japanese were far more miserable (being virtually cut off from resupply). In hindsight the US could have just bypassed the whole theater, as the Japanese garrison had no offensive capability. Their whole operation became moot after the Midway battle it was meant as a diversion from.
