Pete Hegseth lashes out at 'kill them all' report on boat strikes

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Go to 00:37.

She says the second strike happened and denies Hegseth gave the order. Which was confirmed again @ 1:55

Say it with me:

Hegseth didn't give the order.

The more simpleminded among us are easily fooled by her doublespeak.

"With respect to the strikes in question on September 2nd, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated."

Not a denial that Hegseth gave the order.

"CBS News reporter Gabe Gutierrez asked for clarification, “Admiral Bradley was the one that gave an order for a second strike?” to which Leavitt responded, “And he was well within his authority to do so.”

Not a denial thay Hegseth gave the order.

Lets take a look at the Department of Defense Law of War Manual, for the purpose of establishing fact, and not politicizing the issue.
17.6.4 There is an affirmative obligation to take measures to protect the wounded, sick, and shipwrecked from pillage, and the dead from being despoiled.

After the engagement.

It was illegal to hit the boat the 2nd time because there were survivors from the initial strike?
Abject nonsense.

Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes.

Conformation someone else gave the order in plain English as you can hear on the video @00:37 and 1:55 and you transcribed.

Correct, because they were helpless. JFC, have you not read anything at all about this?

 

[M14 Shooter]

That boat was at that point going nowhere.
The engagement was over

Why do you believe your judgement to be more sound than the officers in charge of making such determinations and issuing the necessary follow-up orders, in accordance with the given objectives?

If that’s true why has Trump promised to pardon a drug cartel leader?

I cant speak for Trump but did you complain when Bidens autopen pardoned 37 convicted killers and Leonard Peltair who murdered an FBI agent

No it isnt, but again, the more simple-minded among us are fooled by her doublespeak.

Leavitt: ""I think you guys are sort of not listening fully to the statement I provided. Adm. Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was totally destroyed and the threat to the narco-terrorists to the United States was eliminated," Leavitt said in response to the question from ABC News Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott about the administration's inability to confirm or deny whether there were any survivors"

Not a denial that Hegseth gave the order.

No it isnt, but again, the more simple-minded among us are fooled by her doublespeak.

Hegseth and Trump authorized strikes against a declared terrorist group.

The Admiral ordered the second strike on this vessel.

Which is counter to the Hegseth ordered KILL EM ALL narrative.

Noo...
-You- are the one arguing the responsibility for rescuing survivors exists -during- the engagement, that to wait until the engagement is over violates the law -- that you have to take the crew off before you can follow up on a burning and unmoving target
Show the words.

It was illegal to ht the boat the 2nd time because there were survivors from the 1st strike?
Abject nonsense.

You are the one claiming an " engagement" is whatever the commander decides it is. I gave the relevant passages that dispell that. If you want to say different, it's on you to support it.

So go ahead. Maybe try Wikipedia. That's where you seem to go for legal definitions.

No it isnt, but again, the more simple-minded among us are fooled by her doublespeak.

Everything here is speculation.

That boat was at that point going nowhere.

You have no idea. That is a short clip of the incident, that's it.

 

[Lesh]

Hegseth and Trump authorized strikes against a declared terrorist group.

The Admiral ordered the second strike on this vessel.

Which is counter to the Hegseth ordered KILL EM ALL narrative.

That’s not what the press secretary said. She said Hesgeth authorized the second strike and Admiral Bradley conveyed that order

Soon all you want but it’s right there

 

[Lesh]

Look at the MAGA rats scrambling

 

[M14 Shooter]

You are the one claiming an " engagement" is whatever the commander decides it is. I gave the relevant passages that dispell that

You have given no such thing.

 

[M14 Shooter]

You are the one claiming ...

Oh, and you did not at all address this:

-You- argue the responsibility for rescuing survivors exists -during- the engagement, that to wait until the engagement is over violates the law -- that you have to take the crew off before you can follow up on a burning and un-moving target

Show the words.

He said she said.

I am glad I am going to die soon. I can't take much more of this stuff.

Check this out: once again 24-7 coverage based on claims made by people without names.

It is irresponsible to post a story but to LIBs only the agenda matters:

The defense secretary was responding to a Washington Post story citing two ANONYMOUS SOURCES that claimed he ordered troops to leave no survivors after a missile struck the vessel, which was traveling off the Trinidad coast, as two individuals were clinging to the smoldering wreckage.

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.

The military has the military code to go by and we abide by the Geneva Convention. So if Hegseth is doing anything he will face article 92 as well as article 134 plus the Geneva Convention.

If the video ends up showing that there was a second dronestrike on swimmers after the boat was completely under water, I would object to that.

Those gaddam drones cost a buttload of money!

Drop some chum in the water and let nature take its course.

So go ahead. Maybe try Wikipedia. That's where you seem to go for legal definitions.

Wow. That was sad.

You didn't ask for a legal definition - you asked for -a- definition.
I supplied one. It proved my point.

Try harder.
