All im going to add, is one incident of lifeboat shooting does not equal the multitude of worse offenses commited by the enemy at the time.

I think the whole war time attrocities/morton argument, is to somehow equate 1 or 2 instances to being the equivlant of 5 or 10 (or more) instances - most of which are much more horrfiic.

I don't understand the point behind the argument much. Is it to say we were all bad to make japan look better? To equate the US with Japan so we look that much more evil? To say one is no better then the other? 1 + 0 does not equal 10.
