	Walter Short - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lieutenant General Walter Campbell Short (March 30, 1880–March 9, 1949) was the U.S. military Commander responsible for the defense of U.S. military installations in Hawaii at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
		Born in 1880 in Fillmore, Illinois, he was subsequently accused of being unprepared for the attack and relieved of his command, and is considered by some to have been something of a scapegoat, receiving blame along with the Navy commander, Husband E. Kimmel.
		Senator Strom Thurmond (R-SC) called Kimmel and Short "the two final victims of Pearl Harbor." He died in 1949 in Dallas, Texas.

		But a growing corps of critics contends that Kimmel and Short were unjustly made scapegoats for a broader failure that should be shared by senior officials in Washington.
		Their case for this historical revision rests on Washington's indisputable failure to provide Kimmel and Short with key intelligence that by early December pointed to an imminent Japanese attack somewhere in the Pacific.

		Walter has studied everything worth knowing, “I once dabbled in pacifism myself.” He is cultured, sophisticated, witty, and if you embarrass him in any situation and demonstrate that he is not really any of these things, then and you have “Crossed the line.” Walter's greatest short coming is that he is naïve.
		Walter is a man whose personal life is in such chaos that he resorts to rules in order to provide concrete support in order that he can function upright and not drown in the disorder of his life.
		The most phenomenal thing is that when the three of them attack, Walter, who has a pistol in his bowling bag, instead of ending it right there and making them leave, instead throws the bag at one of them, breaking three of his ribs.

		For those less prone to conspiracy, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, and to a lesser extent General Walter Short, are generally held to blame for a variety of sins including not being adequately prepared for an attack they should have known was a distinct possibility.
		Despite the fact that Kimmel and Short constantly asked for improvements to the base's defenses, the War Department refused on budgetary grounds and in the belief that Pearl Harbor was in no danger.
		War warnings issued to Short never implicitly stated that the base was in any danger and Kimmel was refused vital intelligence which indicated an attack was coming for fear that the Japanese would discover that their Majestic code had been cracked.

		Short did that, and he was the one who got them trained and combat-ready.
		Short and the other dependents, other than children, male and female, were gathered up about 11:30 and taken over to another tunnel on Fort Shafter where the Air Force, U.S. Army Air Corps, had been and were preparing their underground CP.
