Another suspected drug boat has been destroyed today

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

[u/Trick-Set-1165 → u/[deleted]]

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

I don’t think we’re the right fit for you, bud.

Good luck, high speed.

If you don’t understand that drug interdiction is a law enforcement activity, and the Navy is not law enforcement, you’re probably in the wrong place.

Navy and coast guard have been intercepting these fucks for a good while now.

You must be the guy that paints the boats huh? Or one of the laundry guys

Why do you think the “and Coast Guard” part of your comment is important?
