The reported “double tap strike” by U.S. Navy SEALs on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean on the orders of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “seems” to be a war crime, according to Sen. Mark Kelly.
Before September’s strike, Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” on board the supposedly narco terrorist vessel, according to a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the operation who was speaking to The Washington Post. An initial strike disabled the boat and killed some number of individuals on board, leaving others in the water clinging to the craft for life.
