Yes... I read a similar article, maybe by the Guardian. The cartels are forcing (through threat, not just a little money) vulnerable people to carry these drugs for them as 'mules'. And there's also no proof these boats had drugs on them.
There is a process, and Hegseth doesn't want to follow it.

17 family members of notorious cartel leader enter U.S. in deal with Trump administration, Mexico says
Ovidio Guzman Lopez is one of the brothers left running a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel after notorious capo "El Chapo" was imprisoned in the U.S.
Remember this special deal made by the Trump admin this year to let 17 members of Sinaloa Cartel boss El Chapo's family come to live here in the States.
I wonder if Free-As-A-Bee Hernandez is going to stay here and shack up with them?

The whole story is ridiculous. You can see there is very little in the boat besides people. And they were not prepped for a "cross the ocean" tour. At all. One squall just off shore would have turned that tiny boat right over.

He wrote a GD book about it last year, how he despises the rules of engagement and they call JAGs "jagoffs" bc they hate for them to tell them what is legal regarding killing people for sport.

Pete Hegseth told US soldiers in Iraq to ignore legal advice on rules of engagement
Defense secretary shares anecdote in The War on Warriors and rails against βrules and regulationsβ governing war
Hegseth has been known as an enemy of the rules of engagement for years. Even his book discusses how he led his men to ignore these rules and "light up" anyone who could be a threat in Iraq.
I've worked with many veterans of many wars who concur w/ Hegseth's opinion. They want free rein to kill.

I sense more voices of dissent will be rising as we crack through the thin veil of cowardice that is the Party of Trump over the next days & weeks.
More voices have been calling him out, taunting POTUS strategically.
They know he's cracking.
