As I recall, and someone else might chime in, it is or was, a written or unwritten rule of the sea that one rendered assistance to those in need, regardless whether they were the enemy or not. That would make sense, given the international nature of the conventions of the sea, and its navigation. But it would also make sense in that the vessel rendering aid would be in an excellent position to gather intelligence on an enemy, and his materiel. |

But as I recall, and I might certainly be wrong, but as I remember, I don't think that vessels, people, etc. were fired upon if they were seen to be rendering aid. Today perhaps, warfare is different I suppose, different 'rules', different times. |

I saw the D-Day movie, think it was 'Saving Private Ryan', and certainly those rendering aid were fired upon. That movie, and the opening scene, will give most anyone nightmares. If I had my life to live over, and I've said this before, I'd like to have been part of that, and hit the beach that day, 6 June 1944. Elsewise, I'd like to have been with Nelson at Trafalgar, on October 21, 1812. |

Why don't you liberals refer to the USS Cole? |

Why don't you liberals refer to the USS Cole? I'm always confused, and many of you might agree! When I (we) transited the Suez Canal, I recall seeing individuals who were obviously kneeling and praying. As we passed, they got up, saw us, and waved, jumping up and down. We waved back. I'll not forget that, knowing that wherever our flag is shown, we have friends. |

I have always wished I had been old enough to be in Europe in World War
Two, especially in the Battle of the Bulge. Saving Private Ryan, my mom and dad had two sons.My brother and I were both in Vietnam in 1964, his second Tour of Duty in Vietnam following a year in Germany. I have no complaints though. cuhulin |
