USN Admiral Frank "Mitch" Bradley testified to Congress that US Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth ordered the US military on 2 Sep to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea.
USN Admiral Bradley testified to Congress behind closed doors the eleven victims were on an internal list of narco-terrorists who US intelligence and military officials determined could be lethally targeted. This detail was not previously made public. These XJKs are an intelligence "no-no," as interrogators can not debrief corpses. Moreover, these XJKs pervert the course of justice if these suspects were indeed suspected criminals and denied their day in court to fight the allegations.
The second strike on the boat was indisputably a clear violation of the laws of war and therefore a war crime, similar to Russian and Israeli military atrocities committed against Ukrainians and Palestinians.
Earlier this year Congress had an opportunity to impeach Dummkopf Trumpf for illegally attacking Iran, like these unlawful strikes, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) torpedoed the initiative.
Ironically, in 2016 second rate Faux News TV tumor Pete Hegseth repeatedly brayed about Dummkopf Trump issuing unlawful military orders. And last year Florida Attorney-General Pam Bondi sternly warned that US servicemembers should not follow unlawful orders, such as committing war crimes:
"Military officers are required not to carry out unlawful orders. The military would not carry out a patently unlawful order from the president to kill nonmilitary targets. Indeed, service members are required not to do so."
