I invite folks to read @nickturse.bsky.social's book "Kill Anything That Moves" to understand that this illegal/immoral ideology shows up in every war.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
