Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday tried to defend his department against The Washington Post’s report on the U.S. military’s recent strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats by calling it “fake news.” In his post on Xitter, Hegseth didn’t exactly deny the report on the military strike on a fishing boat i on the Caribbean, where two survivors were seen “clinging to a smoldering wreck.” A second strike was ordered to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody.”
This would be considered a war crime; however, we’re not at war, so it seems to fall into the category of cold-blooded murder. Still, though, it could be classified as a war crime against the Secretary of War Defense. Pentagon officials have provided no evidence of drug traffickers or syndicate leaders they have targeted.
The six Democratic military veterans who made a video reminding military members that they do not have to follow “illegal orders” sure seems relevant right now. And Trump called for the death of the Democrats. Hegseth took to the Bad App to defend himself without denying the report. In fact, he’s confirming and doubling down on the core allegations.
