Only because they are within the 12miles of the US Coast, you do understand what the 12 miles means right?

The Coast Guard's patrol distance varies from nearshore to international waters, depending on the mission and operational needs. It has law enforcement authority within U.S. territorial waters, which extend 12 nautical miles offshore, and enforces U.S. interests within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which reaches 200 miles offshore. On a global scale, the Coast Guard operates on all seven continents and across the world's oceans to address transnational threats.

You do know what 200 miles means right?

The U.S. Coast Guard conducts anti-smuggling operations and makes arrests hundreds, even thousands of miles from the U.S. coastline, including deep within international waters.

Yes, a JAG officer determined they were still "combatants".

You mean a JAGOFF officer don't you?

That's what Whiskey Pete calls them.

The JAG officers were fired and replaced with Trumpy loyalists.

Once again. Nothing that comes from this administration can be trusted or believed unless or until verified by at least 2 RELIABLE sources.

They were obviously not "combants" while floating helplessly in the ocean.

I don't care what Whiskey Pete's JAGOFF says.

Since when do facts matter to the morons?

They don't. Unless or until they are hauled into a court of law. Even then getting to the Truth is like pulling teeth.

If we did not stand up to them and resist their nonsense
we would have our own "Magisterium" by now and our "scientists" would only be allowed to use a Bible to do their research with.

Yes, innocent "shipwrecked" sailors. Clinging to a bucket of cocaine.

Show me the cocaine. The evidence has been destroyed. Another crime.

No one said they were innocent. They were helpless. Big difference.

What's the issue Donner? You afraid your crack shipment will be delayed?

I don't like war crimes. Do you?

The "issue" is war crime or murder?

And how does the left know that they didn't have communication devices? Because they didn't get the call?

What a stupid question. "Are you a stupid person?" "You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person."

It would it have much been easier to pull them from the sea than to try and Trumpsplain this for the next couple years.

We don't know anything. Neither do you. Because the evidence has been conveniently destroyed. (Another crime) But we do know a crime was committed because we have the video. Also in case you are not woke to it the Navy also has signals intelligence capabilities. Calling for help make with the U.S. Navy right there?

And to back up just a bit the US Navy should not even been involved in chasing criminals on the high seas. I believe that's the Coast Guards job. They generally do not blow up their suspects.

The Coast Guard normally treats maritime drug smuggling as a law enforcement issue, focusing on interdiction, arrest, and prosecution.

Again. Are you a stupid person?

Immigration is a key factor in continued growth, particularly as native birth rates decline.

Sorry, we are full. You are going to have to make your own country great.

Full of IT maybe.

We are not "full" by any means.

immigration puts more people in the country buying houses.

The liberal stupidity is circular and dumb.

Get off my Lawn!

So we employ those immigrants in construction jobs. I hear Trumpy needs construction workers.

America was built by immigrants.

Maga maroons are so incredibly stupid and short sighted. I bet you are one mean hateful drunk also.

True because Pelosi would hire a Republican.

Weak sauce Commie.

The conspiracy that it was the capitol police because the "gait" proves it was way better.

You should have just doubled down on that one instead of changing your tune.

You are slipping Commie Spyboy.

I'm a traitor for creating a thread about Biden?

Mostly just an idiot.

Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.

It's sad that some people can't comprehend that not everything is about oil. It's an oversimplification, at best.

If it's not about oil and it's not about "drug terrorists" (because that's obviously a lie) then what is it really about?

Please enlighten us with your unique SSentinel perspective.

"I think he should testify under oath about the orders that were given, and I think that the video of the distressed, shipwrecked or incapacitated people on those boats being bombed, that video should be shown to every American."

Actually everyone in the chain of command needs to testify under oath as to what their orders were and why they followed them.

Only cowards kill survivors when the enemy is defeated.

Especially shipwrecked sailors. Killing shipwrecked sailors is such a Nazis thing to do.

In World War II a Nazi U-boat commander ordered the killing of shipwrecked sailors.

After German submarine U-852 sank the Greek steamship SS Peleus in the Atlantic Ocean, the U-boat's commander, Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, ordered his crew to shoot at the survivors in the water and throw hand grenades at the wreckage and life rafts to eliminate all traces of the sinking.

After the war, Eck and two other crew members were tried by a British military tribunal for war crimes. They were convicted and subsequently executed in November 1945, the only German submariners executed for war crimes committed during World War II.

If they don't do it now then after Trumpy loses power everyone will be tried by a military "tribunal" force at crimes. Best save all emails documents and orders and digital data related to these incidents so you can save your "assets" from jail or execution.
