You are comparing one vessel incident in the disputtes waters close to China to countless wars US initiated? I mean you cant be serious. Or if you want to compare incidents... Let me give you just one because Iran is in the news lately. What did the commander of USS Vincennes that downed civilian plane Iran Air Flight 655 killing 290 people including 66 children in 1988 got as punishment? He got Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritious conduct in the performance of outstanding service as commanding officer...” and the air-warfare coordinator for that day got Navy Commendation Medal. That is just one out of countless exampless..

No I wasn't comparing them, just pointing out China is active in military aggression trying to grab areas of Vietnam and the Philippine's territories that it feels it should have.
