Letter to the editor

Dear editor,

I believe that the situation that happened on May 7^th 1915 with the RMS Lusitania has to be taken care. As you may know the Lusitania was shot by a torpedo by a U20 submarine under the command of Captain Schwieger, they were shot on their way to Liverpool from Ney York. The Lusitania was a British ship but it was not a British military ship. It held over 1,300 passengers and over 700 crew none of which were active military personal of any nation. The court that also reviewed what happened to the Lusitania reviewed her cargo and found that the ship was unarmed. Her cargo was a general one; she only held 5,000 cartridges of ammunition aboard.  The Germans must pay for killing unarmed civilians with a non military purpose. Only 764 of the passengers survived the torpedo, which is unacceptable they should have taken their time to see if the ship was a military ship or a civilian ship. Knowing this information I believe that the US military should intervene into the war immediately. The Germans have escalated this war so shall everyone else along with them. Without intervention this will happen again and again more innocent civilians will be killed without intervention. Civilian ships cannot just be killed because they are in “war zone” water. If the ships are not innocent then the it is a whole different matter but until then the US should intervene and make the Germans see the errors of their ways.
