I have changed the sentence "He complaints about some of his officers rented a secluded farmhouse where prohibition and blue laws were flouted" in the Aviation section to "He complained about some of his officers' views on prohibition and rented a secluded farmhouse...." That seemed to followed from his drinking habit, although it may not be exactly what you intended. Please change it if it is not in accord. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 07:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have noted in the ACR for closure section that I don't see a source review. I am not a reliable source although my source for this was reliable. There were more than the usual number of holdouts on Tinian as the Marines moved on and other units came in for garrison duty. Also, some of the Japanese defenders fled to the nearby small island of Aguijan from which they would occasonally use small boats to lauch night raids. This sort of harassment continued into 1945. The U.S. military thought it was not worth the trouble and losses to attack the isolated Japanese military survivors. When the 509th arrived, they used the island for target practice.
