Really? Because it should be to people who hate this country.

The U.S. military struck an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean that is at the center of a controversy involving Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth four times during a Sept. 2 attack, according to a US official who spoke to The Hill Wednesday morning on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operations.

The full attack killed 11 people on board the ship, part of an operation by the Trump administration against what it says are narco-terrorists.




If this were the Obama era, that the MSM would cover this vastly differently. That entire opening statement would read...

"The U.S. military used necessary lethal force against confirmed drug cartel boats that were smuggling narcotics in the Caribbean. These boats were confirmed to be cartel members via surveillance of our courageous intelligence members that have multiple forms of tracking on the drug boats whereabouts. 80,391 drug overdoses occurred last year alone and boats similar to this vessel are directly linked to cargo that is attributed to killing Americans at an alarming rate. The courageous actions of Sec of Defense Ash Carter has saved countless lives in conjunction with President Obama's administration to take swift action against the threats that are harming Americans."

This subject does bring up an interesting debate about national security secrets v what the public (or some form of oversight) deserves to know.


That is called being a "whistle blower" and there are regulations regarding that... none of which involves sneaking to the media.

The amount of follow-up strikes after an initial hit is an every op occurrence damn near.

There are tons of videos of helicopters hitting a group of insurgents and circling back around and finishing Johnny Jihad off as he crawls away.

Hell, I may or may not have some on my phone sent by friends.

Wake me up when something happens to Obama for droning American citizens.

I just want to make sure I have this right.

Are you saying that it was okay for Obama to kill those people, and so it's okay for Trump to kill these people?

OR

Are you saying it was NOT okay for Obama to kill those people, but it IS okay for Trump to kill these people?

The moral equivalence here is confusing.

Were you a military commander with target engagement authority? That’s what the news says Hegseth was at the time of the strikes.

Munitions probably worth more than the boat and the people aboard. We need drones with GAU-19's mounted.
