"They feared the loyalty of many of their own troops more than the Japanese Imperial Navy."

I am curious about what you mean by this comment Regarding the economics, if you go back a bit, you will find the US economy picking up due to orders for war material from Europe starting in 1938. The US Army was about 138,000 in 1938; by end of 1940 it was 1.5 million or so, if I recall correctly. In other words, the US was engaging in a peacetime military build up while also receiving overseas orders for equipment. Course, everybody was ill equipt and woefully under trained which is why Pearl Harbor happened.
Roosevelt never had a handle on how to get the US out of the great depression.
