07.12.2025 17:51 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The latest of the many stories to justify this barbaric behavior.
07.12.2025 16:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Neither is a combat pilot hanging in a parachute after ejecting. Does he think they are fair game to be shot at?
07.12.2025 16:45 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This asshole needs to be named and shamed. It appears he was preventing the delivery driver from getting into his car by shutting the door. I would consider that a physical threat/unlawful detention and react accordingly.

04.12.2025 18:49 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0...AND combat aviators often carry a firearm on themselves in combat situations. That means they have communications equipment AND a weapon.

04.12.2025 03:58 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Of course it is. I was not supporting it.
04.12.2025 03:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0When did I say it was a boat running drugs? I never justified the strike. Even if it was loaded to the gunwales with fentanyl (which doesn't come from there anyway) attacking it is illegal under international and U.S. law.
04.12.2025 03:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I never said they were drug runners. That could be human smuggling. One doesn't take 11 people out on a fishing boat. BTW, fishing is fishing around the world.
04.12.2025 03:48 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A typical fishing boat would have a single engine. Somebody that has the means will run two engines so they aren't stranded if one fails.
04.12.2025 03:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I'm well aware that commercial fishing boats often have multiple engines. I used to build wood fishing boats not a lot unlike these for fishing in Alaska. None had four large engines on them with extra fuel carried loose in jugs. Pic of what I used to build many years ago.
04.12.2025 03:43 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0This is allegedly the boat in question and these multi engine open boats are commonly used for smuggling. The number of engines is not consistent with fishing boats of a similar configuration. Iโm not justifying the strike, just adding context.
04.12.2025 03:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Using this logic, if a combat aviator ejects from their aircraft, and while hanging in their parachute uses their emergency radio to call for help, they are now a legitimate target.

03.12.2025 23:50 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A lot of test aircraft are end of life aircraft that are just a few flight hours from the boneyard and end up there once testing is done.

03.12.2025 01:31 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0We're not in a declared war, BUT during a declared war (WW2), Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, captain of a U-boat ordered the shooting of survivors of a ship he had just sunk. His defense was the survivors could give away the position of his vessel. He was tried and executed by firing squad after the war.
