FDR blew it? He was a civilian CinC, NO combat or other military experience. The brass hats in Pearl blew it.

Battleships all in a pretty row, radar mistaking the incoming as US bombers from the mainland, ammunition locked away, unarmed planes in the air, on the ground, a telegram coming ironically delivered after the attack by a Nisei warning to be alert....the list is/was endlist.

More than the Pearl HWIC should have been fired.
