    Excerpt
    The US military has a lot of experience gained in World War II blowing up small man-made islands in the Western Pacific, Joint Staff Director Lt. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie told Pentagon reporters on Thursday, but denied he was trying to send a message to China. He said Beijing has practised bomber flight landings and deployed surface-to-air missiles and other defense assets on artificial islands it has built on contested areas in the South China Sea, ratcheting up tensions in the region.
