And so we are trained that if somebody is out of the fight due to sickness, illness, injury, or detention, in this case, shipwreck, that we don't continue the attack.

And so if troops are given an order to kill everybody, you can reasonably interpret that to be kill all the enemy, so attack the enemy.

But at the same time, if you do end up encountering someone who is out of the fight,

In this case, due to shipwreck, then you don't attack them.

Yeah, and it's just completely speculative.

And I understand the need to rely on anonymous sources at times when we're reporting stories, especially when we're dealing with the government.

But we still need to assess and we need to engage in a bit of media literacy.

and say, okay, well, these anonymous sources are saying that Pete Hegseth said this.

And there's just so much, you know, ambiguity there.

Which, you know, ambiguity is fine, we're going to have that in reporting, but then to take that and run with it and essentially accuse the sitting Secretary of War of being a war criminal based on, you know, this basically double hearsay that's being reported from anonymous sources is just, you know, it's

It doesn't make any rational sense.

Absolutely.

So assuming that the boat itself originally is a military objective, so by definition in the law of armed conflict, this is something that's by its nature, location, purpose, or use, in this case purpose, makes an effective contribution to military action such that capturing it or destroying it,

gives a definite military advantage, concrete direct military advantage under the circumstances ruling at the time.

So that's the standard.

That's what we apply in practice.

That's what we're trained on.

And so the boats to begin with, assuming that law of armed conflict applies, and there's a lot of discussion about whether it should or shouldn't, and that's something we can get into.

But for purposes of the operators who are involved in this strike, they are applying the law of armed conflict because they're told that they're in an armed conflict.
