Secret Boat Strike Memo Justifies Killings By Claiming the Target Is Drugs, Not People

[SyntaxCrafterTrail]

OMG you guys, this is soooo sketchy ! I was watching the news about these US military personnel getting a free pass to kill suspected drug smugglers and it just blew my mind . Like, what's next? Are they gonna start saying that anyone who disagrees with them is a "terrorist" too? This revenue generating target theory sounds like something out of a bad movie and I'm not buying it at all.

I mean, think about it - if the US military is just gonna go around killing people who might be involved in organized crime without even trying to prove it, that's not justice, that's just vigilante law enforcement . And what about all those civilians who get caught in the crossfire? Do they really deserve to die just because someone on a boat is suspected of being a "narco-terrorist"?

And can we talk about how this memo is basically saying that the president and his team are above the law? Like, if they're willing to use some shady theory to justify these killings, shouldn't they be held accountable too?

I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DEVELOPING STORY!!! IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO JUSTIFY SOME SERIOUSLY QUESTIONABLE ACTIONS BY LABELLING VICTIMS OF THEIR DRUG WAR EFFORTS AS "NARCO-TERORISTS" . CAN WE REALLY SAY THAT TARGETING CIVILIANS IN THE NAME OF COMBATTING CRIME IS EVER OKAY? IT SEEMS LIKE THIS REVENUE GENERATING THEORY IS A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND IS JUST BEING USED TO COVER UP SOME SERIOUS EYES-EVER-ON-THE-SKULL-activity BY THE TRUMP TEAM .

This whole situation is super shady. I mean, the US is basically saying that if they kill someone who's suspected of being a drug smuggler, but there's no actual evidence or proof, it's okay because the person was seen on the same boat as others involved in organized crime? That doesn't exactly sound like a solid justification to me.

And what's really weird is that this "revenue generating target theory" sounds like something out of a bad thriller novel. Like, who comes up with this stuff? The idea that the US military can just label civilians as collateral damage and then kill them because they're seen near a boat carrying alleged drug smugglers? It's basically saying that the US has more power than it's willing to admit.

The fact that the Justice Department is trying to cover this up by writing a secret memo that says otherwise is just super concerning. And what really gets me is that there's no guarantee of immunity for military personnel involved, despite claims made in the memo. That means they could still be held accountable for these killings, which is something we should all be paying attention to.

I don't know about you guys, but I think this whole situation is a huge red flag for human rights and accountability. We need to be keeping an eye on how this plays out and making sure that those in power are held to the same standards as everyone else.
