By Berger’s logic his own ass should be fired for poor judgment as to who he appointed to command the 1st Div. There was a whole chain of command in between the accident and the general but the military likes to scapegoat people. The brass tried to blame Admiral Kimmel and General Short for Pearl Harbor, and Captain McVay for the Indianapolis. All eventually exhonerated but put through hell. Lots of holier than thou, CYA, and politics. It’s a filthy, heartless business.
“The brass tried to blame Admiral Kimmel and General Short for Pearl Harbor”
FDR was to blame for Pearl Harbor
