quite a few soldiers in my family, some from vietnam some much younger. multiple family members in middle east at this very time. That said, the old guys from Vietnam always talking to me about this old stuff, and yes, old soldiers have NOT FORGOTTEN and those who dig can see how brutal an attack it was, meanwhile, our flag was flying in the air.
Israelis 100% KNEW they were firing on US naval vessel. Our vessel fly our flag. As I said, give some families some money, and theyll shut up. Sweep it under the rug, nations remain friends, meanwhile soldiers are blown apart for no reason other than Israeli aggression.
"Israeli ships' actions after the torpedo hit: Officers and men of Liberty claim that after the torpedo attack and the abandon ship order, motor torpedo boats strafed the ship's topside with automatic gunfire preventing men from escaping from below, and either machine-gunned or confiscated the empty life rafts that had been set afloat.[70][71] The IDF claims that Liberty was not fired upon after the torpedo attack and that a rescue raft was fished from the water while searching for survivors.[72]"
