Sen. Cotton was at the classified briefing.

You were not.

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.

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.

and as a supposed lawyer, you think that 'the law is the law', yet on the ground combat, like law enforcement having broad discretion due to rapidly evolving circumstances, gets a lot of latitude. Trying to prosecute something like this is almost a guaranteed loss for you.

I did not say anything about prosecution. However the high brass and DOD were mot in a battlefield, they were in a boardroom.

Senator Cotton would eat his newborn baby if TACO told him to do so. He says what TACO tells him to say. He’s a little pussy.

If Rand Paul said that I’d give it some creditable.

That your tacobell meal has a conversation with you is a manifestation of your Schizophrenia.

The only person who sways you is Rachel Madcow.

If Madcow told to you eat a newborn baby, you would. Worse yet, you might even if she didn't tell you to.

Your defense of the Seditious Six has failed. Your defense of Narco Terrorists has failed. Dishonorable Kelly incited mutiny in hopes of inducing a military coup.

Cotton lies, a lot. I suspect Trump has something on him.

Two lawmakers who viewed the video said the survivors’ wave appeared to be an appeal for help from a U.S. military aircraft. Bradley told the members of Congress that they could have been signaling to other vessels to help them finish their drug run, but noted a surveillance drone detected no other boats in the immediate vicinity. - WSJ, https://www.wsj.com/

Please cite the law of statute that would allow the Military to ignore the below based on what you say.

Because we know just saying the word 'terrorist', even if we grant that, does not give the military power to do anything they want (torture) and they still have to follow rules, when it comes to disabled enemies (of any kind) who are no longer posing a threat.
