WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?
TOM COTTON: They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water
Dec 7, 2025 15:14Trying to put myself in the shoes of a lawless cartel.🤔 If my lowly minions are blown up, but still alive, in my sinking drug boat, I will risk my own life attempting a heroic rescue to save them. I’m just THAT dedicated to men that I probably don’t even know. Missile strikes be damned!
The only thing a capsized boat is good for is a flotation device until you are rescued...or in this case blown to smithereens.
