If shooting someone clinging to a piece of fiberglass was a-ok, at least in your eyes, then why did they stop shooting them in later encounters? If your opinion was they decided while legally fine, it presented some moral problems, I can at least believe that.
ETA: detaining survivors of these attacks happened before this all came out, so stopping because it was leaked doesn't hold water.
If the innocent fisherman floating in the water was getting on a radio to tell other terrorist of the attack, endangering potential ongoing and future operations, then he gets another dose of medicine.
And who is to say they don't start booby-trapping these guys or putting locators in them to gather intel on US military operations?
You are assuming these guys are innocent. When they boarded that boat full of narcotics they became an enemy of the United States. An enemy currently engaged in a hostile action against the USA. Updating their mode of transportation doesn't change that.
What you are suggesting is that we hit a big time out button midstream, so we can go in and tend to the wounded enemies, who may or may not try to harm us during these "rescue" operations and whose continued existence directly threatens the lives of US soldiers.
Why is that hard ton understand?
You mean do things just like how the US Coast Guard does every single day? So far, they've seized over 121 tons of cocaine, and did it without sinking a boat. Seems like they know how to do this.
How many tons of cocaine got by the Coast Guard? How much they seized is misleading to the question at hand. Fentanyl is orders of magnitude more lethal so smaller quantities need be smuggled. How many tons of fentanyl missed by the Coast Guard is this question.
Does any absolute proof exist Pete Hegseth gave orders to kill survivors after the initial strike?
Pete Hegseth lashes out at 'kill them all' report on boat strikes
quote from the article
- "As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland," Hegseth, 45, said in a Nov. 28 post on X.
If the reasoning is to stop fentanyl coming in, then these sinkings are even dumber because the vast majority of fentanyl coming to the US comes across the border with Mexico, as Mexico has replaced China as the largest producer.
Do you have absolute proof of your statement that the majority of fentanyl comes across the border from Mexico?
After the illegal aliens were close to 100% stopped from crossing the border my guess is so did the drug trafficking, although I could be wrong.
Even so, the use of lethal force should hamper these drug traffickers and be effective. No need to arrest, go to court nor house in prison.
Trump's CBP says so.

yes, the fentanyl chain is China/india -> Mexico -> USQuote:
More than 90% of interdicted fentanyl is stopped at Ports of Entry (POEs), where cartels attempt to smuggle it primarily in vehicles driven by U.S. citizens.
Most of the drugs are moved thru tunnels, right?
I don't know.
But, if they are, we should drop some Hellfires on those tunnels...
However, my point was that we only know where most of the drugs WE FIND are being smuggled.
We don't know for sure how the rest gets here. We can speculate, like saying it comes through tunnels, though. However, if we KNOW it comes through tunnels then we could prevent that pretty easily.
