Everybody listen.
Bunk Moreland is taking a strong moral stance against the actions of the Trump Administration.

“Trying to get back into the fight”…what fight? Who were the drug runners firing on?
Of course someone blown into the water was trying to get back onto the boat. They were in the fricking water.
Do you understand why they were deemed a terrorist organization?
DRUGS....and yes if they were calling to have the drugs picked up the fight was still on.

It's a little bit ridiculous, but that phrasing probably makes it legal. They should have just focused on the boat not being destroyed yet, that would have been safer in my ignorant non-JAG opinion.
This issue is as old as modern combat (I don't think the ancients gave a shite about executing prisoners). When is the action officially over and you suddenly flip the switch from "eliminate the threat" to "now we're police arresting prisoners"? That's not an easy switch to flip in the heat of things.

The Pentagon’s defense of its actions rests heavily on the premise that there was a “fight” in the first place. In defending the campaign of summary killings at sea as lawful, the administration has relied on Mr. Trump’s disputed determination that the United States is in a formal armed conflict with drug cartels and that people suspected of smuggling drugs for them are “combatants.”
A still-secret memo by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel accepts Mr. Trump’s claims about the nature of drug cartels and that there is an armed conflict. Based on that premise, it concludes that the boat strikes are lawful.
One of its key related conclusions, according to people who have read it, is that suspected cargos of drugs aboard boats are lawful military targets because cartels could otherwise sell them and use the profits to buy military equipment to sustain their alleged war efforts.
The Pentagon’s emphasis on the purported radio communications appears to rely on that logic. The idea appears to be that without a second strike, another boat could have come to retrieve not only the survivors but also any of the alleged shipment of cocaine that the first blast did not burn up, so calling for help was a hostile act.
A broad range of legal experts reject the legitimacy of Mr. Trump’s claim that this is an armed conflict. They say that there is no armed conflict, that crews of boats suspected of smuggling drugs are civilians, not combatants, and that Mr. Trump and Mr. Hegseth have been giving illegal orders to commit murder.

Obviously there are subversives in the military who will leak like a sieve until they get Hegseth and then Trump.

Normally, I would also. But she's actually scuttling the BS "double tap" narrative.

None of you would give a flying frick if it was anyone other than Trump in office.

There are a swarm of legal experts that disagree.

Oh no!! The NYT and a broad range of legal experts disagree!!
not a very compelling argument bunk. Who has the power to declare who is considered a terrorist by the US? What do the broad range of legal experts say?

In point of fact, they didn't. See, Obama and Clinton (and GWB for a while, until it became fashionable to hate him again after 2002).

You have to turn the water on to locate a leak

Thanks, Bunk for the link. The reporting provides enough cover for the operations generally and the killing of the survivors specifically.
While some might disagree with the President's call. It is his to make, and there is no mechanism for challenging that call.

My great grandfather fought in WW II Midway, when they shot a ship full of Japs and they jumped in the water the Americans would just stop shooting incase someone in the fake media got their feelings hurt.

The last time Congress declared war was in 1942.
So was every person killed in Korea, Vietnam, desert storm, Somalia, Middle East, etc since then traditional murder and soldiers following illegal orders?
