Hopefully, I will get to listen to the Bud Peterson interview later tonight when I am on a PC with sound. Can't comment on it without sound.
The other video....did you notice the editing? That is creative editing. You see guys shooting, you see people in the water. You never see both images together.
The Japanese guy in the water at the end? He blew himself up with a grenade. Watch it again. Japanese prisoners were sometimes known to pull guns or grenades while surrendering. Sometimes they tried to take out Allies with their last act, sometimes their last act was just suicide to keep from being captured. Often, they swam away from enemy rescue vessels.
Or do you think that a ship or sub would stop in hostile waters to make sport of picking off survivors?
Good try though.

EDIT: Just watched the second video again. Same conclusion: creative editing.
