US Military Strikes on Venezuelan Narcotics Vessels
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth defended US military raids in the Caribbean that resulted in the deaths of 83 alleged narco-terrorists linked to Venezuela. Controversy centers on a September 2nd incident where Admiral Frank Bradley ordered a second strike on survivors clinging to wreckage. Legal experts, including former Judge Advocate General Stephen Lepper, argue these actions may constitute murder rather than lawful acts of war because the targets are civilians in a law enforcement context.
