Hegseth issues an illegal order.

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.

There was a military lawyer present when the decision was made.

No links. You are not trustworthy to take at word's comment. We know you will lie.

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.

Not a single citation, nothing there contradicts what I said, except for opinion, and biased argument. How dumb are you?

What did you do, prompt ChatGPT to make the best argument it could over this issue?

How desperate are you?
 
We should trust our military who risk their lives to keep our nation safe.

Second guessing their decisions is counterproductive.

There will be oversight and I expect the Admiral to be commended for the operational success.

Just blindly trust our military? Great strategy. That’s always worked well in the past. Did you not pay any attention to the Iraq war?

Sen. Tom Cotton was present at the briefing and he was satisfied that it was a legal operation.

Get a clue, sucker.

The people out there "risking their lives" to blow up civilian water craft are not the ones sitting far away in safety and issuing illegal orders.

I bet you thought the war crimes at Abu Ghraib were just goofy hijinks, didn't you?
