Navy admiral tells lawmakers there was no 'kill all' order in attack that killed drug boat survivors

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Do you honestly think a propaganda promoting publication is more credible when it cites two anonymous sources instead of one?

That makes it double fake.

At the time of the attack, Bradley was the commander of Joint Special Operations Command, overseeing coordinated operations between the military's elite special operations units out of Fort Bragg in North Carolina. About a month after the strike, he was promoted to commander of U.S. Special Operations Command.

His military career, spanning more than three decades, was mostly spent serving in the elite Navy SEALs and commanding joint operations. He was among the first special forces officers to deploy to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks. His latest promotion to admiral was approved by unanimous voice vote in the Senate this year, and Democratic and Republican senators praised his record.

The ‘Men in the Water’ Canard​

5 Dec 2025 ~~ By Paul du Quenoy

“War criminal!” exploded social media last Friday when the Washington Post released a purported “bombshell” revelation about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The paper alleged that Hegseth had ordered a second strike to kill drug smugglers belonging to a designated terrorist organization who had survived the first American attack on a Venezuelan boat on Sept. 2.

The story was based on two anonymous sources who, if they indeed exist, claimed to have knowledge of the War Department’s workings on the matter. On Sunday, the Post’s story was contradicted by President Trump, who told reporters Hegseth had authorized no second strike. Trump’s explanation was consistent with a New York Times report Monday, which cited five other anonymous sources, all of whom said Hegseth had not ordered a second strike. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the same day that then Joint Special Operations Command Chief Admiral Frank M. Bradley had ordered the second strike. Hegseth confirmed this during a televised cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, the establishment commentariat is still crying for Hegseth’s ouster and prosecution, as well as that of all military personnel involved in a situation for which there is little actual evidence. But if anyone thinks blowing up narcoterrorists smuggling thousands of tons of deadly drugs to the United States is a bad thing, let us recall a previous incident in which U.S. forces attacked men in the water.

On Jan. 26, 1943, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Dudley “Mush” Morton’s submarine USS Wahoo torpedoed the Japanese transport ship Buyo Maru off the coast of New Guinea, where American land forces were engaged in brutal combat against Japanese ground troops who had occupied the island the previous year. Correctly reasoning that survivors from the Buyo Maru would be picked up and promptly redeployed to fight Americans, Morton surfaced and ordered his crew to machine gun the survivors who, like the Venezuelan narcoterrorists eliminated in September, were literally “men in the water.” A total of 87 Japanese combatants died that day.
Were Morton and the sailors under his command disciplined? Was his commanding officer, Submarine Force Pacific Fleet chief Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, implicated as a war criminal? Was Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson fired before any evidence emerged, investigated by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, and put on trial? Was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration dismissed by biased mass media as a “sickening moral slum,” as the Post’s nominally “conservative” opinion writer George F. Will put it?
~Snip~
Morton was never disciplined for his heroic actions, as many current commentators would likely demand (in the unlikely event they ever heard of him or have more than a passing knowledge of our nation’s proud military history). As Morton continued in command of the Wahoo in his remaining months of life and service, he was awarded the Navy Cross with three gold stars (each gold star being the equivalent of a subsequent Navy Cross), as well as the U.S. Army’s Distinguished Service Cross. In 1959, the U.S. Navy commissioned a destroyer named in his honor, the USS Morton.


Commentary:
Certainly all you trolls here will not like this at all.
Let them rend their clothes and gnash their teeth. I voted for this and the left can pound sand.
According to general journalism standards (an oxymoron), this is really one anonymous source, and a second source who either vouched for the veracity of the first source or corroborated certain facts that give credibility to the first source's account, but isn't necessarily a direct source themselves.
In effect, the Washington Post ran with a single source on this story, which is why the New York Times couldn't validate the story with their own sources.
Democrats seemingly believe that they are allowed to do things in war that others, especially their enemies are not allowed to do.
Yet they still have not justified the actions of Hussein Obama and his side kick Biden...
Even the biased media has admitted that Fentanyl is supposed be highly poisonous. Seems appropriate to rain down all sorts of hell on these smugglers to incinerate every possible gram of the poison.
We should broadcast a prime time tv show in Mexico showing the bloody carnage, and the boats exploding. Maybe show up close pictures of the homes of the cartel leaders. Let them know we can and will find them.
