If you define "isolated" as being the farthest from anything else and "major city" as being one with more than 100,000 people, then you would choose Honolulu, Hawaii (377,379 population; 2,393 air miles from SF).
Anchorage, Alaska (275,043 population; 1330 air miles from Vancouver, BC) might be a good second, but there's lot of stuff between Anchorage and Vancouver, which might be considered the closest major city. There's nothing but empty ocean between Honolulu and either North America or Asia.

U.S. involvement in Vietnam began lower than President Eisenhower, who despatched the first "military advisors" to Vietnam. They were said as "advisors" so as no longer to violate the Geneva convention, yet they were somewhat squaddies, whose purpose changed into to help South Vietnam in protecting its freedom and independence. regrettably, Eisenhower did no longer have a clue on what our certain interests or aims will be, or any plan for determining at the same time as they'd be executed. Neither did Kennedy or Johnson, who escalated the conflict a great deal (really Johnson). inspite of the clean lack of route and statement of aims, and any plan for accomplishing them, the U.S. military did an fairly sturdy pastime. Tet, in 1968, turned right into a wonder, in spite of the indisputable fact that the Vietcong were beaten again, and they were spent militarily. regrettably, traitors contained in the media stirred up the human beings (the governmenttraitor contained in the media changed into Walter Cronkite) and informed anybody that the U.S. were defeated at Tet. Lyndon Johnson then lost what little will and nerve he had, and our involvement changed into steadily decreased and ended through Nixon. to reveal you techniques incorrect Johnson and Traitor Walter were, the Vietcong were so weak after Tet that they did not triumph over South Vietnam till 1975, more beneficial than 2 years when we left. If we had only persisted, and dealt appropriately with the traitors, Walter Cronkite and Jane Fonda, we would have received the conflict, and the human beings of Vietnam will be loose on the on the spot. it really is a sturdy element Walter changed into no longer in can charge of the 2d international conflict. If he were, he probable would have retreated again to England after the conflict of the Bulge, and Europe will be ruled through Hitler on the on the spot.

probably ancorage in alaska because it is basically in the middle of nowhere.
honolulu is also isolated, but not as much as ancorage.
maybe even topeka, kansas or lincoln, nebraska.

If it's continental US, I'd say Denver.
If it's all the US, I'd say Honolulu.
