Did Our Defense Secretary Order Executions at Sea? Are You Okay With This?
Monday, December 1, 2025
In a few words:
Allegations of extrajudicial killings at sea. Is this the America we want? Are you okay with this?
More details:
Reports are surfacing that our own Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, may have ordered U.S. military personnel to ensure "no survivors" in airstrikes targeting suspected drug-running boats.
This isn't just about interdicting drugs; it's about potentially crossing a line into extrajudicial killings, a grave threat to the very principles of justice and accountability we claim to uphold. The idea that we would deliberately ensure no one survives, even suspected criminals, is chilling. Senators from both parties are launching an investigation, but the fact that this is even a question, that our military could be directed to act like executioners, is deeply disturbing. It raises serious concerns about the rule of law and the potential for war crimes.
Are you okay with the possibility that our government is sanctioning "kill everybody" orders at sea, turning our military into instruments of summary judgment rather than defenders of our nation and its values? Are you okay with this dangerous precedent being set, potentially eroding American morality and international standing on such a fundamental level?
