Not one single commander has refused a single illegal order from the convicted felon.
Makes you wonder what they'll do when Trump and Hesgeth give them the illegal order to shoot to kill peaceful protesters.

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.

If the boat was flipped over, how could Cotton tell it was "loaded with drugs"? And what made him think the shipwrecked civilians were trying to get the charred and soaked remains of those drugs to the United States? And, even so, why would that justify their murder, rather than their apprehension?
Tom Cotton:
"I saw two survivors, trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs bound for the US back over so they could stay in the fight – and potentially, given them all the context we heard, other narco-terrorist boats in the area coming to their aid.”
Bound for the USA?? How stupid is Cotton?
