Hegseth issues an illegal order.

By violating the rules of war and military code of conduct

A lie.

A sucker like you who never served and was not present during this operation does not get a vote, sucker.

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.

From the U.S. Military Code of Conduct
  • personnel who are disabled and no longer a threat
  • and survivors of maritime warfare who are “out of combat” due to ship destruction



  • Enemy personnel in the water from a destroyed vessel are considered hors de combat (out of the fight)
  • They may not be intentionally attacked unless they take hostile action or present a threat
  • There is a duty to render assistance if feasible, consistent with mission requirements


These rules come primarily from:


  1. Law of Armed Conflict
    (also called the Law of War — the core legal standard the U.S. military must follow)
  2. DoD Directive 2311.01
    which makes compliance with the Law of War mandatory for the U.S. military.
  3. Geneva Conventions
    which the U.S. adheres to and trains under as part of LOAC.
  4. U.S. Navy Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations
    which does explicitly address people in the water after a ship is destroyed.
 
U.S. Southern Command
@Southcom

On Dec. 4, at the direction of
@SecWar
Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.

Hooah!

Yes, but that designated terrorist group is a close ally and vital partner of the democrat party.

Besides, a group of 6 Pedocrat lawmakers attempted to incite a military coup to overthrow the government, and the pedo party thinks they can justify it by saying it's illegal to conduct military operations against terrorists.

Ignoring that pedocrat King Barack Obama ordered "no prisoners" on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
 
Senator Tom Cotton defended the U.S. strikes on an alleged drug boat as "entirely lawful and needful," stating that the survivors were attempting to salvage their cargo and "stay in the fight"
.
Following a classified briefing with Navy Admiral Frank "Mitch" Bradley and other officials on December 4, 2025, Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, offered a starkly different interpretation of the video footage compared to his Democratic colleagues.
  • View of the survivors Cotton stated, "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs bound for the United States back over so they could stay in the fight". He suggested they were "narcoterrorists" and the strikes prevented them from recovering their cargo or getting aid from other nearby boats.
  • Legality of the strikes He described the multiple strikes as "righteous" and exactly what he would expect military commanders to do. He also relayed that Admiral Bradley denied receiving any "kill them all" order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, confirming the order was detailed and lawful.
  • ** view on the incident** Cotton stated he "didn't see anything disturbing about it," emphasizing that the true concern is the number of Americans who have died from drugs smuggled into the country.

You have been suckered, sucker.

Prove that Sen. Cotton lied, sucker.

You were not there for the classified briefing…you were lost in the Gulf of America…with two engines.
I would like to see the footage for myself

Military lawyers determined the two survivors were collecting drugs and contacting other drug smugglers and were trying to finish their mission so they were still in the fight.
 
Now I wonder how the MAGAS on here will feel if Venezuela attacks one of our ships and disables it and goes in and kills all of the survivors.
Will they start crying that Venezuela broke the rules of the Geneva convention?
I guess it is alright with them if we do it but I am sure they would be up in arms if somebody does it against us.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
 
No, it was worse, it happened without such an order.
No, sucker, the mission was accomplished with an Admiral in command control with a JAG lawyer present.

The military has been ordered to destroy the boats that are bringing drugs to America.

They are accomplishing that mission.
 
And Trump has declared war on them and out right killing anybody that survived the first strike IS against the Geneva convention.

Another Stalinist who thinks Narco-Terrorists are party to the Geneva Convention. An no moron, a second strike doesn't violate anything,

When you KING Obama sent Seal Team 6 to kill bin Laden, with express orders of "no survivors," the brave men didn't fire only a single shot and then go home. They continued to assault until the mission was completed.

It all right here to read.
Arts. 12, 18 This Convention mandates that parties in battle take all possible measures to search for, collect and care for the wounded, sick and shipwrecked. “Shipwrecked” refers to anyone who is adrift for any reason, including those forced to land at sea or to parachute from damaged aircraft. Art. 14 While a warship cannot capture a

This already failed, the terrorists were on a Sat Phone calling in reinforcements. Further, Narco-Terrorists are not party to the convention, moron.


Look, I know you're just trying to excuse the treason of Mark Kelly and the Seditious 6 - but you failed.

The boat was destroyed. They went further.
