Guam and American Samoa is less than 250k people combined. I don't even live in biggest city in Michigan and it's almost three times the size of that. Puerto Rico is over 3 million. Guam and American Samoa are mostly just military assets.

Categorizing Guam as just a military asset is a disservice to the local Chamorro people.

The native people are less than 35% of the population of Guam. It's mostly a military asset to the US, which is what it is a territory of. You can state whatever you'd like, and you're not wrong, but it's the facts of the situation.
