Victor Davis Hanson reminds us that the treasonous Mark Milley, was the one who set the example of questioning his superior’s authority, as he did with President Trump: “In a recent strike on a Venezuelan drug boat, the vessel "was not completely obliterated," requiring the U.S. military to "finish the job" with a second hit. The Left instantly seized this as an opportunity to call it "an execution of prisoners," saying that President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth-"or perhaps Pete Hegseth on his own had ordered"—to "kill them all..."

CNN contributor and former military lawyer Margaret Donovan says both Pete Hegseth and Admiral Bradley are complicit in war crimes after double strike on Venezuelan drug boats. “This is so basic to everybody who has served in the military and who has trained on the law of war and the law of armed conflict that it is a war crime, that it's no surprise that the administration will be trying to shift the blame…If the facts really have played out the way that it is being reported, he absolutely had a duty not to follow an unlawful order if it was Secretary Hegseth's order.” It’s as if they want Pete Hegseth to be guilty.

Host: In a September 2nd strike, Pete Hegseth gave a verbal command to kill everybody on the boat. And we don't know who was on that boat. But after the missile hit, 2 survivors were seen clinging to the wreckage. The commander then ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions. They knew that that was an illegal action, that it could constitute a war crime.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Monday that there was a follow-up strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean earlier this year, but denies that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the order. The Washington Post reported Friday that Hegseth gave a verbal order to leave no survivors in the first U.S. strike, and after it left two survivors in the water, the commander of the operation, Adm. Frank Bradley, ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's directive, killing the survivors. When asked if Hegseth's original order for the Sept. 2 strike was that everyone be killed and whether that directive came from President Trump, Leavitt told CBS News’ Weijia Jiang, "I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I would reject that the secretary of war ever said that.” CBS News has not independently confirmed the Washington Post's reporting.

The Washington Post reported last week that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to “kill everybody” aboard an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean, and that when two people onboard survived, a follow-on strike was ordered to finish them off in the water. Asked about that report, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) says “Congress does not have information that that had occurred.” “But obviously, if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act,” he adds.
