Trump and Hegseth disguised a military plane as a civilian plane to bomb ships. That is a war crime called perfidy. Because of this move, civilian flights are now in jeopardy of being gunned down by foreign countries.
The outlet, citing officials briefed on the matter, reported on Monday that the Pentagon used an aircraft that appeared to be a civilian plane, with its munitions out of view, when it attacked a boat in September.
The alleged drug-trafficking boat was struck four times — twice to kill those on board, and twice to sink it — by the U.S. military, an official told The Hill in December. Eleven people were killed, and the attack in the Caribbean has been publicly scrutinized.
Last month, several Republican lawmakers demanded more details about the follow-up strike that ultimately killed survivors who were clinging to the wreckage. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was among those who said that the strike appeared to violate international law.
Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall described the attack that killed the survivors as “a textbook example of a war crime.”
