Yes. Not enough time. I'm pretty sure Sam was telling me that "the powers that be" mistakenly thought if we just showed up the North Korean's wouldn't fight. Another wrong move. We were ill-prepared.

Yes, the thinking was that we could showboat and bluff our way to victory just by showing up.
Somewhat along teh idiotic thinking behind our military today.
Put shortly, "If we do a show of strength, the enemy will be afraid to take to the field/ attempt to attack the carrier groups/ etc etc etc."
