The only reason you didn't see a lot of double tap strikes during drone warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan is because most of the predator and reaper drones only carried one missile.

Yup. All soldiers are psychopaths.
Casting a disabled boat out to drift in the ocean with the crew is usually a death sentence in itself which is why sailors don't kill the crew once the boat is incapacitated. Naval warfare is different from war on land where if your tank is destroyed you can run away. If SECDEF claims he didn't know that, the JSOC Admiral absolutely did. If they do court marshal an admiral I would be surprised to see anything come off it. It will be an Eddie Gallagher situation again, with Trump siding with the war criminal.

Why would this be the only ship in naval history that no one comes to the aid of once they radio in that they're drifting and need help? Sometimes they get there in time and sometimes they don't, but absolutely a ship needing someone to come help them is a common occurrence that lots of people have plans and procedures in place for.

Could be. Then again, every bit of doing that that he does will turn a lot of the military brass against him, which I think can only be a good thing.
Americans should not be rescued.
This is the implication of reciprocity exclusions to the Geneva Conventions.
I think 'rescue stranded sailors' is a teeeeensy bit older than that. And americans should not benefit.
If another ship rescues them, then so be it. I spent 20 years in the US Navy.
This was one of the main things that WikiLeaks got in so much trouble for exposing. It was so bad, that Hillary Clinton wanted to actually drone strike Julian Assange over it.
And why would she not? Once you start using drone strikes as a method of solving non-military problems, anything and everything starts to look like it needs a drone strike to sort that shit out.
Well said, Sir. Could you give me your exact coordinates real quick? It's for a... uhm, social study.
...
Wasn't this the helicopter attack on the journalist because his lens "looked like a RPG"? And afterwards they killed anyone trying to help, children, women, everyone? I remember needing to throw up after watching this. It was obvious those responsible would be held accountable and... oh.
I think that one was leaked by chelsea manning.
Oh, that could be it. It's been a while.
From the helucopter that just kept going aroubd doing murder?
