Recent reports detail a U.S. Navy SEALs strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean on September 2, allegedly ordered by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, that may constitute a war crime. Following an initial strike that disabled the boat, a second attack targeting survivors in the water, resulting in at least two deaths, was reported. Sen. Mark Kelly and other lawmakers, all veterans, expressed serious concerns, citing that such actions are unlawful and potentially rise to the level of war crimes. Congressional committees, led by Republicans, are planning investigations into the operation, amidst escalating military campaigns in the region and growing concerns of a full-scale invasion of Venezuela, where President Trump has closed the airspace.

According to the *Times*, a U.S. Navy SEAL team on a clandestine mission in North Korea encountered a small fishing vessel. The civilians aboard, seemingly harvesting shellfish, were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The American forces opened fire, resulting in the deaths of everyone on the boat.

The ocean has always been known as the ultimate equalizer, and even the most skilled and elite individuals can fall victim to its unforgiving nature.
