    I’m sorry but you are wrong. The US have committed more than their fair share of war crimes. But this spcific incident isn’t one of them.

    You say you read it, but it would then seem you purposefully ignored this part

    based on the circumstances and the information reasonably available

    You can look back and say “oh, they never sent a jet, there was no danger”. But you’re doing that with the textbook in hand. You are sitting several days in the future with far more information available to you than at the time of the incident.

    A submarine, and I honestly can’t believe i have to say this more than 10 times by now. Is generally not equipped to conduct rescue operations. As far as the submarine captain goes. What do you want him, personally, to do, that also does not put his submarine or his crew in potential danger.
