We, the authors of this essay believe that in claiming there was an “affirmative misrepresentation” placed into the proceedings of these investigations, Admiral Kimmel was absolutely correct. There was and there are many “affirmative misrepresentations” placed in the historical record of the Pearl Harbor Attack Hearings. These affirmative misrepresentations were made by officers from the Navy and War Departments in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. But just as surely as this, the published record is replete with affirmative misrepresentations made by Admiral Kimmel, General Short, and other military personnel who had been on duty on Oahu or aboard ship in the eastern Pacific in 1941.
We further conclude there was no attempt, whether accidental or deliberate, to withhold critical intelligence from either Admiral Kimmel or General Short. After-the-fact testimony by Admiral Kimmel, General Short and subordinate officers serving on Oahu in 1941, claimed the Hawaiian Commanders were not furnished with intercepted, decoded and translated Japanese diplomatic message traffic.
Never forget
Commander Maurice E. Curts : It’s spent, sir.
[Kimmel stares at the bullet]
Admiral Husband E. Kimmel : [somberly] Would’ve been merciful had it killed me.
sucks to be in charge.
you rarely get recognition for success, but have 1 bad day and their mouths wont stop...
thanks mate
8am in Hawaii is midnight in the Philippines. MacArthur had time to scramble his planes but didn’t. Saturday night-everyone drunk? 10+ hours to do something and the planes were all lined up impossible to miss when attacked. Asleep at the switch. Too much of that in world history.
stay vigilant.
There was a strong anti war feeling amount the Americans at that time. I believe that President Roosevelt needed something to push the Americans toward war. With the cut off of oil to the Japanese and other economic issues, Roosevelt was lighting the fuse.
Amen, look at us now.
Unwilling to face reality, being woke...
we all see China coming only Trump did anything...
Joe wont even boycott the Olympics, hides behind a mask...
I can’t make it man, you know, the Omnichron...
it is increasingly difficult to gather intel from our news, but why telegraph anything to the sheeple?
