I didn't look at the link but I'm just guessing this has to do with the military operation of blowing up drug boats coming out of Venezuela. Amiright?
Is the outrage coming from the same people who were completely fine with Obama being the drone-master in chief with all of his distant killings which included some American citizens who were drone smoked in other countries? Obama loved him some drones.
Is the outrage coming from the same people who were completely fine with the Biden reaction to the Abby Gate bombing in Afghanistan? The one where they drone smoked a family who was not at all related to the Abby Gate incident. Oooops.
Do you think these are just some fishermen out there wetting a line and gathering up a catch?Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

Nah, I don't think so.
The Washington Post’s latest attempt to discredit Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has become an embarrassment for the embattled outlet after its reporting was called into question by a New York Times story published on Monday. Two of the Wapo’s “decorated” national-security correspondents, Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima, published a front-page exclusive alleging that Hegseth verbally ordered U.S. forces to “kill everybody” aboard a suspected narco-trafficking vessel during a September 2nd special-operations strike in the Caribbean. The Post’s correspondents claim two anonymous officials with “direct knowledge” of the operation informed them that a second strike to finish off drug traffickers that survived was done to comply with a no-quarter directive from Hegseth that potentially violated rules of engagement.
On Monday, the New York Times published a detailed report that directly undercut the Post’s story. Citing five U.S. officials familiar with the operation (all granted anonymity because of the ongoing congressional inquiry), the Times reported that Hegseth’s actual guidance was limited to pre-strike authorization for a “lethal kinetic operation” to destroy the vessel and its cargo. There was no mention of survivors and no order to “kill everybody.” Once the strike began, Hegseth gave no further instructions; the decision-making on the second engagement fell entirely to Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley on the scene, who judged the remaining individuals still posed a threat. That account aligns with the White House and Pentagon’s flat denials from the start of this controversy. The Times’ reporting has on-the-record information from multiple sources inside the chain of command, while the Post’s version, built on just two anonymous officials and no independent corroboration, has lost all credibility.
What began as a blockbuster accusation has quickly become the latest example of a legacy outlet peddling an inflammatory narrative that doesn’t survive even basic scrutiny from its own peers.

I'm not about to say he's a drug cartel sympathizer but I will say that I am about as opposite of that as any one person can be. These drug running cartels are enemies of the American people. Fentanyl is the number one killer of the 18-45 age graphic in this country. I have witnessed, first hand, people dying of Fentanyl overdoses. Actually being on the emergency call and being there with the paramedics as they tried in vain to bring back a young person who went too far or got a higher than expected dose. Being there when family members showed up sobbing and hoping a miracle would happen, and it didn't.
I see the videos of the drug boats getting blown out of the water and I say, it's about time. I said before that Obama was the drone master in chief and you know what? That was one thing I didn't get critical of him for. If people were leaving here, to go there, and help support terrorists or join up with terrorists then they forfeited being American when they decided to go that route and become an enemy. So I gave Obama a pass on that.
If killers are killing your people, you might have to kill them.Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.
