  Screw all the people who judged the Japanese man for jumping onto the lifeboat. He did the right thing!

  It matters not who anyone was on that ship. The horrible things they saw, watching people die, screaming. for help and no one could do anything about it. Watching the Ship go down, they must have had nightmares for the rest of their lives. RIP to all of them.

  That is so terrible that even his OWN COUNTRY THOUGHT HE WAS A DISGRACE!!! Any human that survived that ship should be honored and loved!!!  Unbelievable

  Lightoller was working after he survived.... he was probably riddled with guilt... all those men he brought back from Dunkirk, in his mind, replaced all the men he turned away that night on the Titanic... a truly tragic turn of events 😢 RIP to you all 🙏

  The truth surrounding this ship and all the events before during and after this tragic event will never be known now.

  He was not dishonorable to his country. He was a good man who wanted to go home to is family.😊

  This man, no matter who he was or where he came from, was a human being worth saving from disaster!  Later to serve his new country was wonderful of him.  We have no right to refuse to help ANYONE be they from ANY country in this world.  They are not responsible for their race, colour or religion and they ARE brothers and sister by our first parents, ADAM AND EVE!!!  LOVE makes the world go round much more happily!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  I knew many World War II veterans who never watched a war movie. The exception was a group of 5 who, as a group, saw Saving Private Ryan. Four of them had participated in the D-Day landings, while the 5th had served in the Pacific. Three of them had to leave during the part of the movie that showed the landings. They sat in the lobby and wept. They had witnessed the front of a Higgins boat dropping only to have every man on board be mowed down by machine guns. One of them thinks he witnessed the soldier running around berserk with his blown off arm tucked under his good arm. Seeing a Higgins boat take a direct hit from a 88 mm and blow up with body parts going everywhere took a toll on them too. After the beach landing scene, they resumed the movie. At the 40th anniversary of D-Day, the veterans of D-day were offered free trips back to Normandy. None of my friends took the government up on it. My marine friend, who had served in the Pacific, was also offered a free trip back there. He also refused the offer.<br>These guys, all father figures to me, are all dead. They&apos;re all a &quot;man&apos;s man,&quot; humble and trustworthy. I told one of them, &quot;I could trust you around the world with $100,000 and my wife, knowing that neither the $100,000 nor my wife would be touched.&quot; &nbsp;he smiled and said, &quot;after almost 60 years of marriage, my wife will barely let me touch her anymore.&quot;
