The speedboat double tap occurred on September 2 2025, in October they returned survivors to
their counties, Ecuador and Colombia, they/hegseth knew the Sept incident was illegal and I believe push back from Bradley stopped future killings.
just trying to see the path of decisions
“Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support,” Hegseth wrote on social media. “I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since.”

Yes, the two survivors of the U.S. military strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean on October 16, 2025, were
returned to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia within a few days of the incident.
The U.S. government decided to repatriate the survivors, which allowed them to be detained and prosecuted in their home countries and avoided complex legal issues surrounding military detention in the U.S. for suspected drug traffickers.
Colombia opened an investigation into the activities of its national, who had suffered injuries.
Ecuador released its survivor after authorities determined there was no evidence of a crime committed in the nation.
This incident was significant because it was the first U.S. military strike on an alleged drug vessel in the ongoing campaign where there were known survivors. The other two crew members on the vessel were killed in the strike
