For the American Intelligence Journal

  • In 2001, two US intelligence officials falsely blamed Pearl Harbor’s intelligence failure on the “groupthink” of “white Christian males” in War on the Rocks.
  • While advocating for diversity in intelligence is vital, their narrative is factually incorrect and, in our opinion, lacks national security professionalism.
  • Major defense outlets, including War on the Rocks, refused to publish a fact-based rebuttal of this false claim.
  • The venerable American Intelligence Journal stepped up to protect the truth and defend America’s intelligence history – it published the piece.
  • Accurate lessons from Pearl Harbor are crucial for safeguarding US national security today.
  • False lessons learned help our adversaries.
