Are you the type of person who would execute wounded survivors of a missile strike?

BREAKING: The New York Times reports that the story from The Washington Post that alleged that
@PeteHegseth
ordered narcoterrorists who survived an attack to be killed is *false*From the article: "The Post article did not provide context on when Mr. Hegseth gave what its sources described as a spoken order to kill everyone."

The New Hork Times According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a
sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the
vessel and its purported cargo of drugs. But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth's directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least
two people on the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any
further orders to him.
 
Fentanyl has played a major role in the US overdose crisis since 2013, with a significant increase in related deaths over the last decade
. As of late 2023, approximately 72,776 people died from fentanyl overdoses nationwide that year, and over a quarter of a million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses since 2021.


That’s just deaths from fentanyl.
 
“I can’t imagine anyone, no matter what the circumstance, believing it is appropriate to kill people who are clinging to a boat in the water,” said Michael Schmitt, a former Air Force lawyer and professor emeritus at the U.S. Naval War College. “That is clearly unlawful.”

It doesn’t matter whether the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with drug cartels as the Trump administration asserts. Such a fatal attack would have violated peacetime laws and those governing armed conflict, the experts say.



The real question is"Are you the kind of person that would believe a Washington Post article."
 
Damn those pesci-terrorists.

Family of fisherman killed in US boat strike files human rights complaint

The family of the Colombian fisherman who was killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea filed a formal complaint Tuesday with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights alleging the U.S. government illegally killed him.

“From numerous news reports, we know that U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza and the murder of all those on such boats,” they wrote in their petition.

“Secretary Hegseth has admitted that he gave such orders despite the fact that he did not know the identity of those being targeted for these bombings and extra-judicial killings,” they added.

Carranza’s lawyer Dan Kovalik said the fisherman’s family “has no recourse to adequate and effective remedies in Colombia to obtain redress for the injuries they have suffered due to the actions of the United States.”

Hegseth has maintained that the strikes are all legal and claims that the military has evidence that the boats were carrying drugs.

White House Confirms Second Strike on Alleged Drug Boat and Defends Move as Legal​

They have intercepted communication between the survivor and other drug smugglers. The boat was disabled but not destroyed The order was to destroy the boat. They did not want the drugs being picked up by other smugglers.

Correct, it was a righteous kill keeping dangerous drugs out of our country.

The far left loons can kick their little feet and scream til Hell freezes over but America supports keeping drugs from killing our children.

According to an April 2024 Pew Research Center poll, 64% of Americans believe that keeping illegal drugs out of the United States is a top foreign policy goal. This places it as the second-highest priority, just behind preventing terrorist attacks (73%) and slightly ahead of preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction (63%)
