The Controversy over the War
Regarding the ship sinking: The US warned the crew to abandon it (in lifeboats), and only after the commander refused did they sink it.

So the sinking was clearly justified. However, the reaction of certain US public figures who talked about the attack as a fun video game explosion rather than military necessity was disgraceful.
The US sub should have surfaced and rescued survivors. That's the humanitarian thing to do. Also, POWs are bargaining chips.
There is not enough room in a submarine to hold the rescued survivors - enemy combatants - safely. Space in a submarine is extremely limited.
Hegseth glories in death. He’s disgusting….
This was a well described reality of the current war situation.
