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.
Combat ships are always legitimate targets in a war.
The US sub should have surfaced and rescued survivors. That's the humanitarian thing to do. Also, POWs are bargaining chips.
I have been on both a similarly sized surface ship, and on a submarine. Submarines are much smaller. No way it could rescue the entire crew.
Hegseth glories in death. He’s disgusting….
