So many genuine atrocities committed against American soldiers and citizens in war and peace by so many countries, yet this one, single, fully-investigated incident continues to draw the focus of certain groups and individuals. There's only one explanation for it. And it's obvious.

That's a cheap shot, In_25_, IMO.

In_25_, this is from my soul, the true gen as I see it:

Most of us here love America. America was, is, and always will be (unless the demonrats take over permanently) a true and steadfast friend of Israel. In fact, the American and Israeli classic defining respective characters are alike.

BTW, I personally seem to get along best with sabras; had a next door neighbor who was a former captain in the IAF. Not too much across the fence small talk BS there.

Now, it is precisely because these countries are true friends, that a very rare exception like the Liberty hurts and saddens one so much.

No it’s not, it’s a fact, unrelated to your interest in the incident.

Many of the survivors recognize and attempt to dissociate themselves for the use of the incident made by Jewhaters and jihadists.

Even here on FR. The attack on the USS Stark by Iraq (our friend at the time) appears to be represented on FR by one thread of 35 posts, actually dealing with the ships retirement, with little questioning of the accidental nature of the attack.

The USS Liberty has been the topic of 13 threads in the last six months, another another 20 or so in the archives, many multi hundred posts. And that’s not including the many threads that have been deleted.

That’s no reflection on either your concern or motivation, but the intent of less savory elements is undeniable.
