14. No difference than the killing of Isoroku Yamamoto

Directly targeted and ordered by FDR.

Operation Vengence

http://www.militaryhistory.org/2009/07/operation-vengeance/

The success of Operation Vengeance heralded the American success which was to meet the continued Americans offensive in the Pacific Theatre of World War Two. The operation also stands out as an effective and controversial moment in American military history. Was Yamamoto killed in a military action or purposefully assassinated, an action which would be in direct conflict from the American policy of not singling out foreign leaders as targets to be eliminated?
