Did Kimmel simply distrust the radar warning?

Did Admiral Kimmel simply fail to trust trained radar operators before Pearl Harbor?

No; the operators were no longer on duty, and Kimmel was also denied intelligence briefings that his predecessor had received.

A viewer challenges Kimmel's reputation by asking about the trained radar personnel and the ignored warning. The relevant operators were not on duty when their report mattered. More importantly, Kimmel had not been included in the intelligence briefings available to the previous Pacific Fleet commander. That exclusion followed the predecessor's disputes with Roosevelt, leaving Kimmel responsible for readiness without the same information on which earlier objections had been based.
