Again, you are twisting yourself into ever more nuanced arguments. You are saying that this film does not definitively show a massacre taking place because our eyes can not, in real time, follow the bullets from the sailors hand guns to the men in the water. That's basically what you are saying. So who is shooting at the Japanese men in the water then? The shadiest defense lawyer in the world wouldn't have the audacity to argue that. We see men being shot at, we see sailors doing the shooting, but you won't accept that the two must be connected. What we do know is that shooting at survivors in the water was allowed, we know it was done, and this film shows what appears to be exactly that. So there is no merit, intellectual or otherwise, in questioning what this film shows. Not everything is a conspiracy. And even if this film, shot by the US Navy in WW II, is all some elaborate hoax, and there is no reason why it should be, Mush Morton reported what he did on the Wahoo in his log. The veracity of that incident is not disputed.

Frau Kaleun brought up the historical angle of shooting survivors in this thread in reply # 23. It was not me. And Sgt. Raa, in reply #24 said he was interested in this topic as well. Sergie also expounded on this topic before I came to the thread. So I posted this video. The only person who took exception to what I posted was you.
