[/QUOTE]I believe Mush Morton was involved in one very serious incident of gunning down shipwrecked men in small boats, believing them Japanese troops bound for New Guinea. In sad fact, they were mainly Indian POWs of 2nd Battalion, 16th Punjab Regiment, plus escorting forces from the 26th Field Ordnance Depot. I don't think anyone filmed it though.[/QUOTE]
There is much argument about what really happened in this "incident" so no one can honestly say what Mortons intent was or what happened(there are several different versions) O'Kane says that they only fired on the boats and any person that fired on the Wahoo also it was a Japanses claim that Indian POWs where on the boat so take that with a grain of salt.
Personally I do not trust Wikipedia as a definitive source anyone can place anything they want on an article there and unless someone who truly knows has it changed it will be there.
