Fine on sinking combat ships.

I thought the American(Generally Christian as well) ideal was not to kill or injure non-combatants ;and killing same was one reason we condemned the bad guys.
Major difference in WW1 and WW2 was mass bombing of cities.

YOU go watch Oprah since you seem more familiar with that show. I never did watch it.
