U.S. sailors beaten for months (Pueblo).  U.S. sailors repeatedly machine gunned by jets and patrol boats, many killed (U.S.S. Liberty).  It is comforting to such victims, I am sure, that in your view, it was necessary to avoid war.  In the case of the U.S.S. Liberty, air cover or a war ship covering them would not have resulted in war, they were attacked by our allies, the Israelis.
