The USS Niblack fired three defensive depth charges in the expanded security zone as it was conducting a rescue operation to save three life-boat loads of Dutch merchant mariners who had just been sunk by a nearby German U-boat. And you want to compare THAT to the invasion of North Africa? You call THAT an "agressive sea campaign"?
C'mon...get serious.
By the way...I was being sarcastic when I used the word "illegal" and "illegitimate". Just trying to use the current hyperbole that is so beloved by the present hysteria lobby.
My original analogy stands. The US attacked Germany by invading North Africa. And magically THAT doesn't bother anybody. How convenient.
