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

[WorldWatcher]

If the pilots say no one ordered the 2nd strike, it was their discretion, no second guessing them.

Let's see the video of the 2nd strike. Was the second strike a double-tap, two launched ordinance or was it a single tap occuring only after the first strike destoryed the boat and the survivors were in the water or clinging to wreckage? Let's see the way the attacks came about.

Then we'll listen to the pilots.

And if the pilots say they were no orders for the 2nd delayed strike? Hold the pilots responsible.

And if the pilots say they were orders for the 2nd delayed strike? Proceed to determine who ordered the strike.

How about secondary confirmation of others on the radio network as to the pilots statements?

Start by swearing in the WaPo reporter who claimed he or she had an anonymous source for these claims. Then the source can testify under oath and under his or her name.

Probably Vindman and Eric Ciaramella.

Why not start with the reporter and his source? No need to sully the military with silliness if the whole thing was fabricated for emotional and political theater.

Get some facts then get back to me.

The second strike on the survivors: fact

Hegseth authorized it: fact

Trump disowned it: fact

Republicans called it illegal and are investigating: fact

UK stopped sharing intelligence, so it wouldn't be a party to murder: fact

It's not going away, no matter how many ankles you nip at: fact

I don't think the reporter has the video feed footage or the recordings of the radio taffic.

After the engagement.

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

17.14.1.2 Meaning of "Respect and Protection" of the Wounded, Sick, and Shipwrecked.

The wounded, sick, and shipwrecked must be respected and protected at all times. This means that they should not be knowingly attacked, fired upon, or unnecessarily interfered with.

 

[Clipper]

So you got nothing but more whining? Got it.

Look, you want to bend yourself into a pretzel defending this, that's up to you. But, I don't ***** foot around what Trump & Hegseth did. They deliberately murdered those two people. Period. We are not at war with Venezuela. That's all there is to it. We have an administration that is rogue who think they can do whatever the hell they want to. Including killing people. Btw, that Admiral is headed for a court-martial.

Trump will be using our military against our own people. It's only a matter of time.

If something is proven to be a violation of law, accountability is the process.

Until then it's all unproven speculation including what you just posted.

Get back with some facts.

Wow!

That's deep.

Does that mean I have to release Pete Hegseth now?



Crybabying for a drunken white supremacist. Can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

What is the court case reference?

The Supreme Court ruling that says constitutional protections apply to non-citizens, outside The United States? Go for it.

 

[Delldude]

Wow!

That's deep.

Does that mean I have to release Pete Hegseth now?

Have another drink on me.

 

[hjmick]

Does that mean I have to release Pete Hegseth now?

Sorry. No returns...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Have another drink on me.

Have another kleenex on me for the murderer Hegseth.

I'd never second-guess the pilots.
On ABC there was a segment about the strike.
I think the commander did not know there were survivors when he ordered the 2nd strike on the boat.
That was on 9/2, after that they looked for survivors.
I think that the original thinking was that no one could survive those 1st hits.

Got a case....

Swallow some more semen from the murderer Robinson.

Those can be altered.

The reporter needs to give us the name of the witness that can then come under oath and tell us what happened.

Your idea of the military turning over footage for the media or investigators to analyse and judge with no predicate other than an anonymous report would mean that anyone could report an anonymous story and put the authorities on a wild goose chase, or more correctly an infinite number of wild geese chases.

If a news outlet published an anonymous report that WorldWatcher refuses to stop beating his wife, who should be called to testify?

The reporter and his source, or WorldWatcher?

What about WW's phone, bank, credit card, employment and education records, just in case there is some evidence of the alleged nonstop wife-beating?

Or would it be better to call the anonymous person and asked him what gave him the idea that WW hasn't stopped beating his wife?

So this just political theater based on hearsay or pure fabrication. That reeks of sedition, not whistleblowing, and that should be addressed long before some discussion on the ROE in the Caribbean.

The Supreme Court ruling that says constitutional protections apply to non-citizens, outside The United States? Go for it.

You said they ruled. What was the case? Either there was one or there wasn't. Time for you to buck up and show your hand!

First review the tape openly, full transparency to determine if a crime was committed....

Shooting unarmed people in the water is a war crime (if a in a war), there is also the possibility that the whole attack is a a crime... These boats are not a direct threat to US and minimum force should be applied...

US strikes on 'Venezuela drug boats': are they legal?

Experts have suggested several attacks launched by the US may be illegal under international law.

This should be made public to start...
