Even assuming these were in fact drug traffickers, “stay in the fight” is an insane way to describe it.
What fight? This wasn’t a Japanese destroyer in 1943.
And stay in? By clinging to wreckage?

Now juxtapose Hegseth's vile little cartoon with this line from the Post report on the latest horror:
"If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed."
"If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed."
Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.
