Hegseth complains in his book, The War on Warriors, about rules governing warfare in the U.S. military—and repeatedly praises his own commander, Colonel Michael Steele, who was reprimanded for reportedly ordering soldiers in 2006 in Iraq to “kill all military age males” in a raid. https://trib.al/V7Ld0By

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told an audience in a previously unreported 2016 video that the US military “won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief,” and described the refusal of illegal commands as a part of the military’s ethos and standards — a message he now condemns Democrats for spreading. https://cnn.it/3MBQJyY

Everything he and dear leader said during campaign and nomination process was a total lie! They are so good at BS just to appease senators like the Susan Collin’s of the world

So the admiral swooped down and saved Hegshit’s job! The admiral stated that the 2nd strike was done because the survivor/survivor’s were going to keep going with the smuggling! Am I correct? My ? When and how were they going to continue swimming? Or floating with cargo of drugs to land?

Tom Cotton said that one of the survivors took his t-shirt off "like he was sunbathing".....what the fuck?

He’s a heartless prick maybe the survivor was taking his burning t-shirt off after all they just torpedoed

We need that video to be released to the public. The differences in descriptions is just insane.

To even suggest that these two people who were likely extremely confused and injured were trying to turn the boat back over to continue to deliver the drugs is off the charts.

The US Coast Guard on Friday released video of its forces shooting out the engines of a suspected smuggling boat and arresting the crew, a successful interdiction that raises fresh questions about why the Pentagon is carrying out lethal strikes on drug smugglers in the same region.

The footage, reported by Fox News, shows a Coast Guard sniper disabling a “go-fast” vessel during Operation Pacific Viper before officers board and detain those on board. The service said more than 20,000 pounds of cocaine were seized — the largest at-sea haul in over 18 years.

The mission occurred in the eastern Pacific, where a Pentagon strike earlier this week killed four suspected smugglers. The Coast Guard’s ability to stop traffickers without deadly force is fueling scrutiny over the necessity and legality of the Pentagon’s lethal operations.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) took his criticism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth a step further, claiming the Pentagon chief’s recent decisions have “ruined his credibility.” https://trib.al/VBAdNnl
