You're right, but its important to note its ALSO an excuse to cancel elections. And steal oil.

Critics are calling out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over a stunning new report in the Washington Post that he ordered a U.S. strike force to kill everyone on board a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Caribbean in September.

When two survivors were seen in the wreckage, commanders launched a second “double tap” strike to kill them, the Post reported on Friday.

“The order was to kill everybody,” one source with direct knowledge of the operation told the Post, which said the two survivors were “blown out of the water.”

New York University law professor Ryan Goodman wrote on X that the Post report details a “textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing.”

He wrote in a follow-up post that the administration’s claim to lawmakers that the second strike was to clear debris “seems to be a bold-face falsehood.”

I believe that should be "SSecretary of War Crimes"
