funny thing is i just did a big essay o him in class today
another thing like this was the sinking of the USS indiana (indianapolis not sure which) which was carying the atomic bombs their mission was a secrit so they were not allowed to contact anyone on the radio and they were sunk in shark waters and slowly eaten and at the push of the families that lost sons they charged him with not contacting the navy and sending out an SOS,
he eventually commited suicide because of the way he was blamed
just goes to show you skapegoats are very unfortunae individuals even if they do deserve it
