So... what threat did these two survivors pose that there was a need to strike again?
Lethal force is supposed to be used judiciously- that means, not just because some guy decided that these "drug smugglers" deserve to die.

SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

On Thanksgiving Day about 15 years ago, our newly rescued doggo had her first plate of turkey in a real home.
She had been so nervous. Kinda circled the plate, making sure it was hers.
Then … she fell asleep. 😴 We poked her, lifted her back leg and let it fall. Nothing. She was OUT. 🥰🥰
