Reply #150: You can't hide the deaths, but you can hide the details of them.

just look up the HMT ROHNA.... forty years later, family members found out the ship was struck by German misile. Over ONE THOUSAND of our men died Nov. 23, 1946 and the families didn't get the specifics for DECADES, because we didn't want anyone to know the Germans had that particular misile.

Why would it be different now? We learned it was wrong to do that? NO WAY. Same sh** different war.

By the way, the survivors were threatened with court martial if they spoke up. They came home, and when some did tell their families of this TRAGEDY, some of the families labeled the survivors "nuts", just cause it would've been REPORTED IF IT REALLY HAPPENED.

Rohna has a survivors site, REALLY... go visit it. The first hand account stories are chilling. My great uncle died on the ROHNA. His mother, father and brother all died without knowing what really happened to him.
