There are numerous assertions on X and other places that a submarine which sinks an enemy ship is legally and morally obligated to rescue the survivors.
There are even trained journalists who appear to believe that a submarine which sinks a troop ship that held thousands of troops is obligated to rescue the survivors.
Our schools need to teach more about the nature and inherent risks of warfare.
[My late father-in-law was an American soldier on a ship that was sunk during World War II. He dove into the water and was eventually rescued. I can only imagine his expression if I'd asked about the German efforts to rescue the American survivors.]
