Far too many (http://www.burmastar.org.uk/suezmaru.htm), unfortunately.

(BBC iPlayer link here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dhlf9) for anyone interested in more about the Suez Maru)

Yea, but I guess we are in the quest to find out what was the level of "dirtyness".



Only one way to find that out, my friend...there is no substitute for experience.

Dirty yes, but shooting survivors in the water goes beyond the pale. If it did indeed happen. There is the Law of Armed Conflict to go by.



Yes, but should it be that way?

Perhaps, if there were no rules and anything goes then people would think twice before becoming involved in war. A kind of MAD in a conventional fashion.

The rules of the game imply that it is a game and that we'll all be "Home by Christmas". Why have rules?

Is it not ridiculous, indeed, to blow someone to kingdom come for doing their duty, and yet accept a truce or surrender under a white flag from those that choose not to do their duty? Why not fight until one side annihilates the other? In some ways, the question returns us to the debate regarding Bomber Harris.

Perhaps "All bets are off!" (to quote Nick), makes for a far better deterrent than nuclear destruction.

Apologies to PK for straying so far off topic, but in my opinion war is atrocious and if people continue to try to destroy each other under any form of justification, then that is shear folly. Accept war for what it is before sending young men to their doom and desist from glorifying it... easier said than done, I know.
