- All this "double tap is illegal," "there must be accountability," and "the senior officers knew better" talk feels so maddening to me because the basic assumption is this isn't exactly U.S. military SOP and it hasn't been a secret since at least the infamous 2007 Wikileaks "collateral murder" video
- If "this isn't who we are" it is literally news to the military where this has been standard practice for decades and honestly maybe shame on us for repressing this well publicized fact
- "The Nazis killed American survivors of sunken ships and we executed them for war crimes." Right, but the US Navy also killed Japanese survivors of attacked ships by the literal boat load and doesn't even hide it. This is from the USNI's own website.
