lessons after 75 years, silly

It's never to late to learn from a disaster like Pearl Harbor. We are still committing some of the same mistakes now.

1) Underestimating our enemy's abilities to damage us because we are separated from them by oceans.

2) Assuming our enemies will fight on our terms and assuming our technology is superior in all respects.

3) Assuming our strength in nuclear delivery systems and carrier battle groups is an effective deterrence to all forms of attack.

All these weaknesses point out that we are prepared to win the last war.
