This is not true, you were lied to. The boat was capsized, upside down in the water, on fire, the people were not going to be able to climb back on the boat, turn it upside, right, or put out the fire.
Do you like being lied to?
You have been suckered, again.
You were not there.
The order to conduct the second, follow-up strike (referred to as a "double tap") on the alleged drug boat in the Caribbean on September 2, 2025, was given by
Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley.
According to the White House and the Department of War, Admiral Bradley, who currently commands U.S. Special Operations Command, was "well within his authority and the law" to order the second strike to ensure the vessel and the threat it posed were completely eliminated.
However, reporting from outlets like
The Washington Post and CNN, based on anonymous U.S. officials, indicates that the decision was made in the context of an alleged broader verbal directive from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to "kill everybody" or ensure no survivors during the operation.
- Admiral Bradley's Position: He reportedly told lawmakers in private briefings that there was no specific "kill them all" order and that he made the decision to strike the survivors, who he believed were still a threat or attempting to continue their mission, within his operational command authority.
- Secretary Hegseth's Position: He has publicly denied giving an illegal order and has stated that he fully supports Admiral Bradley's combat decisions. Hegseth mentioned he watched the first strike live but was not present for the decision to carry out the second strike hours later.
The incident and the legality of the ongoing military campaign against alleged "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean are currently under investigation and vigorous oversight by both the House and Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees.
I trust Admiral Bradley who was the operational commander, more than some receptionist who never served, sucker.
