Did US soldiers have to fight in the pacific against the Japanese after fighting in Europe during WW2?

by DonaldsTripleChin

I remember at the end of "Band of Brothers" one guy mentiones that he has to fight in the pacific because he doesn't have enough points to go home yet. Was this really the case? How many soldiers had to do that?
