Right after Pearl Harbor FDR got rid of Gen. Short and Adm. Kimmel. Both men were also reduced in rank.
How much responsibility for the attack did those two really have? It didn’t matter. A message had to be sent. Screw up, and you’re gone. Those days are over. Nobody is held accountable for anything anymore.
Sorry. In my post #10 I should have mentioned that Short commanded the army at Pearl Harbor, and Kimmel commanded the navy there.
