Possibly but bet now they glad they didn't.
I'm sorry, but what fatuous statements. If any of us ever go to war with attitude we are not fit to serve. It is not our place to give quarter in the shooting part of any war. It was his job to destroy the ship, without consideration of the enemy, in this case us. It was his duty to employ any means at his disposal to do harm to the enemy. Not to think about trying not to kill the people that were trying to kill him and that he was under orders to kill. His job was to sink the ship and that, potentially, included killing everyone on board.

That's how it is.
