Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that the Pentagon will not release the full, unedited video of the U.S. military’s September strike on an alleged drug boat, which killed 11 “narco-terrorists,” including two survivors in a follow-up strike.

“In keeping with long-standing Department of War policy … Department of Defense policy, of course, we’re not going to release a top secret full unedited video of that to the general public,” Hegseth told reporters after briefing senators on the U.S. military’s ongoing, lethal strikes against alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

That’s odd; they’ve managed to “edit” and release every other boat strike.

For the record, I am all for the bombing of boats carrying drugs. I am against breaking the laws of armed conflict and international human rights laws.

Perhaps the video is more graphic?

What laws of armed conflict or international human rights laws are you against that net the **exact** same result as "bombing drug boats"? Especially in reference to your implication of what's "hidden" in THIS video?

Show the video of the capsized half of a boat with two survivors (reportedly) clinging to it trying to turn it over until right before the bomb hits. Then show the aftermath explosion with nothing there but fire.

Why release it? Libtards made their minds up the moment Hegseth was the nominee that war crimes

They will just air it, doctor it, and so will foreign adversaries

Narcos getting smoked is a welcome change from the feds working with narcos

Why as in why show it or why as in why not show it?
You said it was maybe too graphic. I provided a solution.

As for why, most people know exactly understand they aren’t showing it. It’s obvious. Not to mention Trump said it would be released.

Which is what?

What is 'worse' than bombing a boat, observing two clingers on and then bombing it again?

it was implied in my OP. Likely Breaking a law of armed conflict or international human rights law.

combatants who are "wounded, sick, or shipwrecked" and no longer pose a threat should not be attacked.

international human rights law Could apply. Under this law, lethal force can only be used when there is an imminent threat to life or serious injury, which experts argue was not the case for survivors clinging to wreckage.

“Law And Order”

Not relevant
