Army Maj. Gen. Walter Short, shown in this 1941 photo, was commander of the U.S. Army in Hawaii at the time of the Japanese attack. He was demoted from Lt. Gen. to Major General, and found culpable of the disaster, but decades later a Senate resolution declared both Short and Kimmel had performed their duties at Pearl Harbor "competently and professionally."
