Well, aren't you the cranky old historian? That may well be what you've thought we were discussing but we were discussing the deserved disposition of Admiral Kimmel and General Short...Possibly you slept through the last several posts?
Recommend that you write the book if you feel you have enough to run FDR up the flagpole - but I wouldn't waste much time on a chapter entitled "Kimmel and Short were right", because they weren't and they knew it.
Discourtesy is a sure sign that you're losing the argument.
As is your dishonesty in mischaracterizing my views and changing the subject.
Regardless of their command responsibility -- which I have never denied -- the fact remains that, unlike MacArthur in the Philippines, Kimmel and Short were not adequately warned, and indeed the warnings they received misdirected them.
How and why that happened is the matter of historical debate -- not Kimmel's & Shorts' command responsibilities.

Many suspect it was far worse than "loose thinking".
