One of the biggest problems America has at this time is that “politically correct- everybody has to be nice” routine. But they are trying to equate the military actions against narco-terrorists with the need to be “nice.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is under fire, not from terrorists but from Democrats who are claiming he committed “war crimes” because of a September 2 strike against a drug boat that supposedly had 2 survivors.

The Dem narrative is that Pete Hegseth signed off on the order to kill 2 survivors of a drug boat strike. The actual order was given by Admiral Frank Bradley, head of US Special Operations Command.

“It all comes after a report from The Washington Post said Secretary of War Pete Hegseth green-lighted a second strike on the vessel to take out any remaining survivors. The White House later confirmed on Monday that Hegseth did authorize the second strike, but that Adm. Frank Bradley, the head of U.S. Special Operations Command, ordered and directed it.

In the aftermath, there have been calls to release unedited footage of the strikes, and for lawmakers to get a fulsome briefing on what exactly happened three months ago.

When asked if unedited video should be released of the strikes to Congress and the public, and, if the footage showed that the survivors were defenseless, if that would amount to a war crime, Johnson said that he wouldn’t “prejudge any of that,” and he noted that both the Senate and House Armed Services panels would hold hearings to review the incident.” Fox

Fortunately, Democrats are wrong, and actually quite stupid, as Jim Hanson maintains. He is a training instructor who works with allied troops across the world.

I’ve taught the Laws of Armed Conflict to U.S. and mult. allied troops. It’s comical to have online experts inform me:

The Laws of War do not apply to killing terrorists because Congress didn’t declare war
WRONG
You can’t make a 2nd strike at a boat you’re sinking because there might be wounded on board
WRONG
It is murder to kill designated terrorists
WRONG

I’m sorry it gives you sadz that our Commander in Chief has decided to stop letting the cartels kill Americans by smuggling poison into our country.” Jim Hanson, trainer of Laws of Armed Conflict to U.S. and multi-allied troops, also an author

.@LarryOConnor: They didn’t say a damn thing about Joe Biden & Lloyd Austin ordering a drone strike of an innocent Afghan family heading to a wedding.

They’re concerned about “war crimes” and “illegal orders,” but only when it’s to stop drugs that are poisoning Americans. pic.twitter.com/gOq3nrFoC9

Secondary strikes are not unusual. And a “one strike” rule does not exist. They’re only unusual because this is a Trump administration order- because Democrats hate every member of this administration. It’s especially bad with Pete Hegseth, since Dems were unable to block his nomination.  As Congress claims they plan to review this drug boat strike, we hope that they will have the non-politically correct brains to see the truth.
