Answer 2

I personally believe that when you do something monumental to help a friend in need, it is tacky to throw it in their face. I'm sure that the French, Germans and English are all very grateful, thank you, for our contribution to WWII. But there come's a time when you need to have some sense of diplomacy and manners, just keep your mouth shut. The group became quiet; out of a sense of embarrassment for the simpleton US Admiral. An admiral should adhere to an higher ethical and professional code, such as what we expect of an Ambassador. It's best not to remind the poor Admiral of his sticking his foot in the mouth. Or in diplomatic terms, his faux pas
