The war in Europe was fought on land, in ever-varying terrain, over the four seasons of the year, and against an enemy, who for all their brutality, did fight pretty much in accord of the rules of warfare. The war in the Pacific was fought largely at sea, and otherwise in jungles and steamy little islands, with a whole host of diseases complicating things, and against an enemy that regularly broke the rules of warfare. They were, indeed, two completely different theaters of war.
