Uh huh. Lets see...they did have a 50 cal on the Pueblo against...four torpedo boats with multiple machine guns, a subchaser with a 57 mm cannon and two MIGs.
What would you suggest the Captain and crew of the Pueblo have done?

By the way, if my response had overtones of irritation, it is because my dad did have a connection to CDR Bucher, and while the Captain of the USS Pueblo might not have been a top of the line Captain, he tried to do the best he could with what he had. Our military places value on the lives of its men...we generally don't require them to go down shooting in a hopeless cause, which is what that would have been.
