This. It’s important to remember that, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was no more part of the US than Puerto Rico or DC are. Other than the military presence, the people who live there are not true Americans or Patriots, and do not deserve the protections of the constitution.
The Hawaiian islands are also 1000+ miles further away from the mainland USA than puerto rico is from mainland USA, and there is nothing in between Hawaii and the US where as Puerto rico is one of a bunch of islands that lead right up to Miami beach.
I love the islands, used to live on the big island but they were not part of the US.
The truth is also that we recognize the main islands , but most people aren't aware of the north western Hawaiian islands that stretch westward. That includes Midway as in the battle of Midway.
Honolulu is a little closer to California than it is to Tokyo, but Midway is about 1000 miles closer to Tokyo than it is to Los Angeles so the chain they were fighting over isn't even necessarily closer to the states as it is to Japan.
You forget the aleutians
