Why they lost? US Navy. The same Navy who screwed up at Pearl Harbor because FDR was a devious commie rat who held back intel.
We also had a little luck at Midway. Midway was the tipping point of the Pacific War.
And it was Signals Intelligence that came up with that tipping point at Midway.
There was some luck in timing when the US planes pressed the attack. But the commanders were willing to be aggressive and take advantage of the opening they had, and the bravery of the Navy aviators in taking on obviously superior forces were also contributing factors. You have to be bold and take advantage of luck when it comes your way. We paid a heavy price in losses, but sure gave a lot more than we took.
You think FDR was actively helping the Axis cause?
