RickB,

There were some real differences between Kimmel and McArthur. Kimmel felt safe at Pearl and had little in the way of defenses. McArthur felt the pressure and screamed for reinforcements long before the Japanese invaded. Nothing that happened in the Philippines could be made the fault of McArthur if he wasn�t properly equipped, which he wasn�t.
