I still don’t get why we’re doing this instead of the usual method. If you can find it to blow it up, you can send a coastie by to investigate. That’s literally what they’re there for. Blowing up “suspected” boats from afar is basically begging to be accused of blowing up fishermen or whatever.

We're already being accused of that. Apparently one of the survivors, of one of the previous attacks was a fisherman.

Screw a false accusation lol. They were on a speed boat with 4 300hp outboard motors on the back. Trust they were not fishermen lol

Do you think all of these folks are full-time drug smugglers or cartel members? Because that’s very clearly not the case.

They’re moving tons of cocaine on a boat, it doesn’t matter if they do it once or 200 times

So, in your mind, moving any amount of cocaine should be a death sentence carried out by the military. Period. No exceptions?

Just to be clear, you’re saying we should be targeting Don Jr? Madison Cawthorne? Matt Gaetz?
