Assuming the following is true, does this constitute a war crime:

The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.

A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.

The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

Yes. "Kill everybody" is not a military order. It's a psychopathic utterance.

Grok, Claude, and Chat all agree this is unambiguously a war crime, except that the best argument against it being a war crime is that this conflict does not qualify as a war, so it is actually just regular old murder.

I do not believe, based on the facts in the Post story, that Bradley could have relied on Hegseth’s order—even if Hegseth formally ordered the second strike. The prohibition on targeting a disabled combatant is so clear that Bradley had a duty, in the words of 18.22.4 of the Manual, “to refuse to comply with clearly illegal orders to commit violations of the law of war.”

If it was struck by an air strike, then it’s not a war crime. “Combatants” cannot surrender to an aircraft and can be legally killed even when they appear to be surrendering. There were several cases in the Iraq war where Iraqis threw down their weapons and put their hands in the air and were still killed via hellfire missile or 40mm grenades because they couldn’t be taken into custody by the Apache helicopters they were trying to surrender to.

Chat says you're applying a real rule incorrectly:

“If attacked from the air, you can kill them even after the initial strike.” — No. This is unlawful

Even in a full, declared armed conflict:

The moment individuals are:

out of the fight,

incapacitated,

shipwrecked,

drowning,

wounded,

thrown into the sea,

or otherwise unable to resist,

…they become hors de combat, and it is absolutely prohibited to kill them.

This is not optional.

This is Article 41 of Additional Protocol I (customary even for states not party) and long-standing customary law.

Shipwrecked persons get special protection under Article 12 of Geneva Convention II. They are to be rescued and protected, not attacked.

✔ The doctrine that "combatants cannot surrender to aircraft" exists — but it is narrow.

❌ It does not justify killing incapacitated survivors.

❌ It does not apply to people in the water.

❌ It does not erase war-crime liability for airstrikes.

If the described second strike occurred, it would violate IHL in almost any legal framing.

That response misunderstands the law.

It mixes two different concepts and applies the rule for surrender to the completely separate rule for being hors de combat. In LOAC, these are not interchangeable.

Let me break it down in a way that’s airtight.

✅ 1. “Cannot be taken into custody” is relevant ONLY to surrender, NOT to hors de combat

Surrender rule (voluntary submission):

A person is considered to have surrendered only if:

They clearly express an intention to surrender, and

The opposing forces accept that surrender.

Aircraft often cannot accept surrender — so the law lets aircraft continue engaging.

This doctrine applies ONLY to whether surrender has successfully been communicated.

✅ 2. Hors de combat is a TOTALLY different rule

A person becomes hors de combat if ANY of the following are true (under Additional Protocol I, Art. 41 and customary IHL):

They are unconscious or incapacitated by wounds

They have clearly been rendered defenseless

They are shipwrecked (Geneva Convention II, Art. 12)

They are detained or otherwise unable to fight

NONE of these depend on whether the attacker can take them into custody.

The test is about:

their physical condition,

their capacity to fight,

and whether they are defenseless.

Not about whether a helicopter or aircraft is capable of arresting them.

Your AI chatbot is parroting journalists and ignoring longstanding US martial jurisprudence. Journalists hate it, but combatants attempting to surrender to an aircraft remain legitimate targets and the US, the UK, and others have been killing them on camera for at least 20 years. Its at the commander’s discretion as to whether they accept it or not.

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2011-05-23/us-apache-guns-down-surrendering-insurgents

On February 22 2007, a US helicopter engaged a group of insurgents involved in a mortar attack upon coalition forces, near Baghdad.

After firing a series of 30mm rounds, the crew of the helicopter – callsign “Crazyhorse” – radioed to their command, stating the insurgents “wanted to surrender”. The response was blunt: “CRAZYHORSE cleared to engage … Lawyer stated they cannot surrender to aircraft.”

The Apache crew killed the men.

This was my favorite take, international law in a nutshell:

“According to Bruderlein, if the allegations are correct, both the crew of the helicopter and the officer who cleared them to engage, would be guilty of war crimes. The lawyer who offered the legal advice would, he believes, not be guilty.”

Lawyers are blameless lol.

The rest of the article makes clear the bruderlein guy is an idiot. He takes takes a phrase, passed secondhand and abbreviated for time sensitivity and radio communication, as the entirety of the legal argument. No one was prosecuted for war crimes for any of the incidents mentione. Nor, as far as I know, were they disciplined in any way.

We used to regularly "double tap" in Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, etc. This involved hitting a target, waiting for civilian rescue services to arrive and then hit them too. Yeah, what was described in the OP was probably a war crime too but we commit so many of them so regularly that idk that this is where something will happen for anything other than purely political purposes.

That’s not what “double tapping” was/is, and the US never engaged in that.

Double tapping was the practice of shooting enemy corpses as you approached them to ensure they were dead and not just faking it to ambush you. The term was derived from the practice of shooting your enemy twice in the chest to guarantee a mortal wound. A bunch of uppity liberals got pissed and tried to make shooting the enemy a crime, and now there are a bunch of bullshit rules about when and how you can shoot a disabled enemy the irony is that because of the “double tapping is a war crime” crowd, it became standard practice to shoot all the enemies you came across before you walked past them just to ensure you didn’t get pinged for a war crime.

“Double tapping is actually a reference only to secondary strikes, and those strikes are exclusively about targeting civil rescue personnel” *cites source that says the exact opposite*

Each of the US-relevant links states they were targeting combatants and then criticizes them for collateral damage.

"on six occasions, to have deliberately targeted people going to rescue victims and retrieve the dead from the scene of an earlier attack – a tactic also known as a ‘double-tap’ strike."

Not sure what you're arguing. No one is providing the definition you gave and the point is that this isn't just collateral damage but rather a second later strike specifically to kill the rescue resources. What is the resource that says "the exact opposite?"

Here is what a double tap is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tap_(shooting_technique)

Your “double tap drone strike” terminology is derived from that.

In the Iraq War, some faggy jagoffs tried to claim that the second shot in a double tap was a war crime because the first shot disabled the enemy. We were banned from using the term “double tap” when writing AARs or giving SITREPs, and instead had to use the phrase “controlled pair”.

What I’m arguing is that America does not, and has not, engaged in deliberately baiting firefighters or ambulances or other humanitarians to an area just so they can execute them. You would have to be retarded to think that would be US doctrine. The “opposite” I’m referring to is that the rationales provided by the US are clearly indicate they are striking combatants, not that they are trying to kill civilian rescuers, which is what your definition of double tap includes.

Whatever it was AZNgirls will always find Handsome Hegseth innocent and demand that he blow up their pussies

But Heggie is definitely burning in hell and I cld imagine him never finding another jerb again and joining OnlyFans

“Kill them all” is a confession to murder under American law.

So the new shitcon consensus is that Hegseth committed crimes, but should not be punished. Cons aren't even trying to argue the killings were lawful, they're just saying we should leave Hegseth ALONE

Why are Hegseth defenders claiming Hegseth gave the order? Hegseth himself says he never gave it.

Hegseth is now pretending he never said “kill them all,” which basically dumps every one of those double-tap killers into the line of fire. He’s implying those service members carried out illegal orders, tossing their careers, their honour, and their freedom under the bus to save his own ass.

that won't happen though. the dems will understandably make a spectacle/issue of this, but he's never going to suffer consequences even if it is determined that he committed a war crime.

There's a difference between hors de combat and trying to survive clinging to an attacked ship flotsam. The latter is not hors de combat.

I'm my expert opinion most law people relying on AI and sneaky professors with a Marxist agenda will point to hundreds of military manuals explicitly calling firing on shipwrecked survivors as a war crime and that jet are hors de combat. But if you look deeper there is clear distinction in them that survivors actually must still be hors de combat and incapable of further attack to receive protections. As good textualists we all know this clarifying point wouldn't be necessary if it's taken at face value that all shipwrecked are incapable of continuing combat functions. Some say it is, but I say those people are poor lawyers.

this is so ridiculous. Cartels brutally torture people, and have made their own governments their bitch, for the last several decades. we know China and other nation states are providing precursors specifically to destabilize us through the cartels. these aren't other countries playing by the "rules of war."

we're not bombing children like Israel. these are drug smugglers on a boat full of drugs in the middle of the Caribbean. if they're State sponsored and want to invoke international treaties about "war crimes" then step up. otherwise, yes, kill them all.

i can't believe people are actually opposed to this. we have the most powerful military in the world, and very well funded and extremely brutal people sponsored by either nation states directly or indirectly are bringing in heavy drugs specifically to destabilize us or to extract money from us, and people are handwringing over blowing up a boat filled with drugs and killing everyone on board? there was absolutely no chance anyone on that boat was innocent. but let's go further, what if, maybe, some guy brought his girlfriend on board and she didn't really know what she was getting into. so what? this is a boat traveling through international waters on the way to our coast with a bunch of criminals associated with a large criminal organization and full of drugs.

i have things i don't like about Trump or this administration but this isn't one of them. libs, you are picking the wrong battles.
