War Dept. Denies Fake News, Defends Drug Strikes

Description

The U.S. Department of War is refuting a Washington Post article that alleges Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was misquoted. The dispute centers on military strikes against suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean, which the department claims are lawful under U.S. and international law. The Posts reporting has been discredited by the New York Times. The controversy also involves a second strike launched against a drug boat after an initial hit left survivors, raising questions about whether this violates the laws of war. The Department of War stands by its decision, made by Vice Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley, and is committed to defending the homeland against narcoterrorists.
