Being that today is the 60th aniversary of Pearl Harbor, I felt compelled to node some extra thoughts about it.
In some of the latest news, President Bush is considering whether or not to promote the commanding officers, Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Gen. Walter C. Short should regain the ranks they attained before Pearl Harbor.
Following the attack, there was an investigation trying to place the blame on the attack on someone, and it fell on the commanding officers. They were demoted in rank and remained at that rank still today.
