It was probably a damn good idea to have the Pacific fleet sit in a Pacific base with all that shit going down. 
Besides it wasn't like Japan was some push over that we just had to take advantage of. |
So they went to Hawaii for the oil that they needed??? I think that they were presented with a nice fat juicy target, that was nearly unmanned when you consider the numbers that would normally have been aboard the ships had they been at sea. And onstead pf parking the ships to protect Hawaii, dont you think that they should have been patrolling the waters instead. that way they could fight back.
