dudeU.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship
ProfThadBachI am a former US Army officer. There is no maybe about it. It is a war crime. Even if you can justify the sinking of the ship you can not justify the abandoning of the sailors in the water.
Especially in this case where the US Navy so vastly overpowers the Iranian Navy, there is little chance a US Navy vessel being used to rescue the Iranian sailors would be attacked. It is likely a rescue operation could have easily proceeded without any risk to US personnel.
Ughh.
