If those two survivors had been rescued, brought back to a Navy ship, interrogated, and if the answers were not what Trump/Hegseth wanted, then shot in the back of the head with a pistol and dumped overboard--with it all being video recorded--then what we would be hearing would not be materially different from what the Administration and its Congressional Quislings are saying now. There is no bottom.
In the words of Jacob Bronowski, "It's said that science will dehumanize people and turn them into numbers. That's false, tragically false. Look for yourself. This is the concentration camp and crematorium at Auschwitz. This is where people were turned into numbers. Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance, it was done by dogma, it was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave. This is what men do when they aspire to the knowledge of gods."
