Hegseth cites 'fog of war' in defending follow-on strike in scrutinized attack on alleged drug boat

I gotta say, this whole thing smells like fishy business . I mean, come on, a follow-up strike after a boat sinks? That's just reckless and irresponsible. You can't just keep firing without knowing what you're doing, especially when it comes to civilian lives .

And let's not forget, Admiral Bradley was supposed to be acting within his authority, but Hegseth is still trying to spin this as a good call . Newsflash: there's no fog of war in peacetime, only accountability . It's time for some real answers about what happened on that boat and why our military leaders thought it was okay to attack survivors .

This whole thing has me thinking we need more oversight and transparency from the Pentagon, not less . We can't just let politicians and bureaucrats play defense secretary without being held accountable .

I don't think it's cool that multiple lives were lost in the first place . The fact that survivors couldn't be seen after the initial explosion raises a lot of questions about what really happened. I'm all for taking action against those carrying drugs, but did they have to die? It's also concerning that Hegseth and Trump are downplaying the situation and saying it was an authorized decision under "the fog of war". That sounds like a cop-out to me . Can we get more details about what really went down in that boat before anyone starts making excuses?
