Ask questions, read the links.  Provide a link from a retired Air Force Brig. General saying the actions are legal.  You dismiss the general because he was quoted on Newsmax.  I disagreed with your take & Bingo--------hatred & vitriol.  Yea I also must be lacking for "clearly" not know how bringing charges work.  Maybe enlighten us all on how that works.  Guess I shouldn't be surprised.   

Happy trails.

Anybody who simply takes the word of a partisan pontificator instead of reading the actual legal document isn’t interested in challenging their mind.

He called the guys in the boats “combatants,” lol.   I guess we’re taking pointers from Netanyahu now.

Correct.  Which is also why any claims from the admin that “narcoterrorists” are “attacking” Americans is nonsense.

Maybe, but they’re trying to make money, not kill people.

Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets

Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

No shitt Moron. They transfer the drugs from boat to boat to avoid detection.

There is one person who can never face any accountability for the killing of people clinging to an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean in September.

That person is Donald Trump, who as US president was granted broad immunity for official acts by the Supreme Court last year while he is in office.

From there, things get tangled in a complicated bramble of military, civilian and international law.
