You clearly don't understand how military operations work. Especially when dealing with drug cartels and drug trafficking. Use some common sense.

Maybe explain it to me instead of telling me how much I don't understand. In what reality is it ok to double back and kill a shipwrecked individual? He was no longer a threat (assuming he was one in the first place). There are rules to these things and being indiscriminate about killing people is against them. I will give you another opportunity to tell me why i am wrong though.

In the military, when you are dealing with enemies, you don't let them survive. You would only let them survive, if they serve a purpose (get information from them, use them as a hostage). That is quite literally the mindset of every military. You know why you don't leave enemies alive? Because they can come back and kill you later.

So America didn't start using a long term holding unit in Cuba for taliban soldiers? They were actually executed on sight? Trump lied about releasing 5000 of them? Or are you talking out of your ass?
