The pacific

I dont believe that either side can gain moral superiority in a battle like Guadalcanal. there is just too much loss of life to. Although in the end the men felt good about holding the island, there wasnt much in it for them. to the soldiers it was just a jungle where they lost a bunch of their friends. The battle especially wasnt a moral victory for the Japanese because they were slaughtered by the thousands by American machine gunners, and they couldnt hold the island. All in all the island was nothing but a strategical victory for the military.
