Anyone looking at the run up to WW2 can clearly see the signals in the Pacific were simply ignored. Everyone was focused on Hitler, Mussolini was a national hero- IN THE USA!, and Churchill was accused of trying to drag us into a war that was none of our business. There were very few military leaders that saw the threat either, or at least that went public about it. The Japanese were all near sighted little buck toothed men about 5 foot tall that had 1880's era equipment, or so the US was told at the time. There was no way they would ever dare move on the US, they were too far away, didn't have the tech, didn't want to move on us. It's the same thing we were told about the Islamic radicals and the communists before that.
Arrogance, hubris and a lack of appreciation for the enemy. Always a fatal combination.
