“The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own.” ~ Disraeli I argue that C.O.F.A. should continue. I argue this because the United States owes it to the people of the pacific islands for what they had done and also because the United States gained some essential military test sites. The United States bombed the islands of Micronesia, so they should accept the consequence and give back to the people who were affected. They also obtained military and weapons testing at facilities in the islands. Lastly, the United States should help the generations of the people who lived there because they need healthcare.

In the years between 1946 and 1958 they tested the 67 weapons that held the same amount of nuclear strength as 7,200 Hiroshima bombs. Many people who lived near the atolls were forced to move somewhere else because of the radioactivity caused by the bombing.

Although many lives were lost during the nuclear testing, the Compact of Free Association (C.O.F.A.) is making a huge difference for the surviving generations.

One thing obtained was the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Defense Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The test site was critical in supporting the United States’ Space Surveillance Network. The site also provides a tracking station for manned space flight and NASA research projects. In exchange for the testing sites, the pacific islanders were granted access to migrate into the United States to start a new life in s
